Fuel Gauge Fuel Gauge
The quantity of fuel remaining in the tank is
calculated based on the pressure and temperature
of the natural gas in the fuel tank.
The gauge, average fuel, range, and instant fuel
economy show more or less than the actual
amount. The tank temperature, fill method, and
ambient conditions may affect the pressure and
temperature of the natural gas.
You can choose when to reset the average fuel
economy.Customized Features

P. 90, Owner's Manual
Refueling a small amount of gas may not trigger trip
A and the average fuel economy to reset.
F UEL LID OPEN
Displays the amount of fuel left in the fuel
tank.
The lower F mark indicates a full tank at a fill
pressure of 3,000 psi.
The upper F mark indicates a full tank at a fill
pressure of 3,600 psi.
If the fuel receptacle lid is open, the fuel gauge blinks when you turn the ignition
switch to ON
II.
It stops blinking when you close the lid.

Fuel Information
Only fuels that can be used
NFPA-52 and SAE J1616 standards
Use of a fuel that does not meet these standards can cause a decrease in engine
power and damage the emission controls.
Fuel tank capacity:
Slow filling
6.96 gasoline gallon equivalent (3,000 psi)
7.77 gasoline gallon equivalent (3,600 psi)
Fast filling
5.84 gasoline gallon equivalent (3,000 psi)
6.51 gasoline gallon equivalent (3,600 psi)
How to Refuel
There are two methods of refueling:
Fast filling
It takes about three to five minutes to fill up the fuel tank. This method is usually
available at stations designed to refuel natural gas vehicles.
During fast filling, the natural gas is warmed, causing the pressure in the tank to
rise and reduces the amount of fuel you can put in.
Slow filling
It takes about an hour and a half per GGE (Gasoline Gallon Equivalent) to fill up
the fuel tank. This method can be done using a vehicle refueling appliance.
