RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
Avoid running out of fuel because this
situation may have an adverse effect on
engine components.
If you have run out of fuel:
•
You may need to cycle the ignition from
off to on several times after refueling
to allow the fuel system to pump the
fuel from the tank to the engine. On
restarting, cranking time will take a few
seconds longer than normal. With
keyless ignition, just start the engine.
Crank time will be longer than usual.
•
Normally, adding 3.8 liters of fuel is
enough to restart the engine. If the
vehicle is out of fuel and on a steep
grade, more than 3.8 liters may be
required.
Filling a Portable Fuel Container
Use the following guidelines to avoid
electrostatic charge build-up when filling
an ungrounded fuel container:
•
Only use an approved fuel container to
transfer fuel to your vehicle. Place the
container on the ground when filling.
•
Do not fill a fuel container while it is
inside your vehicle (including the cargo
area).
•
Keep the fuel pump nozzle in contact
with the fuel container while filling.
•
Do not use a device that holds the fuel
pump nozzle lever in the fill position.
