Running Out Of Fuel; Alternative Fuels; Fuel Specification; Fuel Tank Capacity - Fisker Karma 2012 Owner's Handbook Manual

RUNNING OUT OF FUEL

CAUTION: Avoid running out of fuel.
Doing so can cause damage to the
vehicle's engine, fuel pump and emission
control systems.
When the remaining fuel reaches a
approximately 10% of the maximum
fuel level, the fuel gauge display will turn
red. If the fuel level falls to approximately
3%, the low fuel warning icon illuminates.

FUEL SPECIFICATION

CAUTION: Do not use leaded fuels,
lead substitutes or fuel additives.
Doing so can cause damage to the engine,
fuel and emission control systems.
CAUTION: Only use high quality fuel
as using a lower quality can cause
damage to the engine, fuel and emission
control systems.
CAUTION: Fuel system cleaning
agents should not be used as they
maybe harmful to fuel system components
on your vehicle.
CAUTION: If the fuel tank is filled with
the wrong type of fuel, do not start the
engine. It is essential that you seek qualified
assistance. Running the engine can cause
serious engine and fuel system damage.
The correct fuel specification for your
vehicle is shown on the inside of the fuel
filler cover.
Only use Premium Unleaded fuel. Unleaded
fuel is essential for proper operation of the
emission control system.
Even a very small quantity of leaded fuel will
damage your vehicle's emission control
system and could invalidate the emissions
warranty.

ALTERNATIVE FUELS

Ethanol fuels
CAUTION: Do not use E85 fuels (85%
Ethanol content). If E85 fuels are used
serious engine and fuel system damage will
occur.
Fuels containing up to 10% ethanol may be
used. Ensure the fuel has an octane rating
no lower than that recommended on the
inside fuel filler cover.
Methanol fuels
CAUTION: Do not use fuels that
contain methanol. The use of fuels
containing Methanol will seriously damage
fuel system components. Damage caused
by using this type of fuel will not be covered
under the vehicle warranty.
Reformulated gasoline
CAUTION: Fisker Automotive does
not recommend the use of
reformulated gasolines that contain the
additive MMT (Methylcyclopentadienyl
Manganese Tricarbonyl). Fuels containing
MMT can reduce spark plug life and the
performance of the emission control
system.

FUEL TANK CAPACITY

Avoid the risk of running out of fuel and
never intentionally drive the vehicle when
the fuel gauge indicates that the tank is
empty.
