Regular unleaded gasoline with a pump(R+M)/2 octane rating of 87 isrecommended. Some stations offer fuelsposted as "Regular" with an octane ratingbelow 87, particularly in high altitude areas.Fuels with octane levels below 87 are notrecommended. Premium fuel will provideimproved performance and isrecommended for severe duty usage suchas trailer tow.
Do not be concerned if your enginesometimes knocks lightly. However, if itknocks heavily while you are using fuel withthe recommended octane rating, see yourauthorized dealer to prevent any enginedamage.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
Avoid running out of fuel because thissituation may have an adverse effect onpowertrain components.
If you have run out of fuel:
•You may need to cycle the ignition fromoff to on several times after refuelingto allow the fuel system to pump thefuel from the tank to the engine. Onrestarting, cranking time will take a fewseconds longer than normal. Withkeyless ignition, just start the engine.Crank time will be longer than usual.
•Normally, adding 1 gallon (3.8 liters) offuel is enough to restart the engine. Ifthe vehicle is out of fuel and on a steepgrade, more than 1 gallon (3.8 liters)may be required.
•The service engine soon indicator maycome on. For more information on theservice engine soon indicator, SeeWarning Lamps and Indicators(page 82).
Refilling With a Portable FuelContainer
WARNINGS
Do not insert the nozzle of portablefuel containers or aftermarketfunnels into the capless fuel system.This could damage the fuel system and itsseal, and may cause fuel to run onto theground instead of filling the tank, whichcould result in serious personal injury.
Do not try to pry open or push openthe capless fuel system with foreignobjects. This could damage the fuelsystem and its seal and cause injury to youor others.
Note:Do not use aftermarket funnels; theywill not work with the capless fuel systemand can damage it. The included fuel funnelhas been specially designed to work safelywith your vehicle.
When filling the vehicle’s fuel tank from aportable fuel container, use the funnelincluded with the vehicle.
