4. Remove the fuel filler nozzle and fullyclose the fuel tank filler door.
Note:A fuel spillage concern may occur ifoverfilling the fuel tank. Do not overfill thetank. The fill pipe is equipped with a drainhole. Excess fuel due to overfill may drainthrough the drain hole and drip onto theground.
If the fuel fill inlet was not properly closed,a service engine warning lamp may appearon the instrument cluster.
At the next opportunity, do the following:
1. Stop your vehicle as soon as safelypossible and shift the transmission intopark (P).
2. Switch the ignition off.
3. Open the fuel filler door and removeany visible debris from the fuel fillopening.
4. Insert either the fuel fill nozzle or thefuel fill funnel provided with the vehicleseveral times to allow the inlet to closeproperly. This will dislodge any debrispreventing the inlet from sealing.
If this action corrects the problem, themessage may not reset immediately. Itmay take several driving cycles for themessage to turn off. A driving cycleconsists of an engine start-up (after 4 ormore hours with the engine off) followedby city or highway driving. Continuing todrive with the message on may cause theservice engine soon lamp to turn on aswell.
FUEL CONSUMPTION
Empty reserve is the amount of fuelremaining in the tank after the fuel gaugeindicates empty. The amount of usablefuel in the empty reserve varies and shouldnot be relied upon to increase driving range.
•The usable capacity of the fuel tank isthe amount of fuel that can be addedinto the tank after the gauge indicatesempty
•The advertised capacity is the total fueltank size. See Capacities andSpecifications (page 303). It is thecombined usable capacity plus theempty reserve.
•Due to the empty reserve, you may notbe able to refuel the full amount of theadvertised capacity of the fuel tankeven when the fuel gauge reads empty.
Filling the Tank
For consistent results when refueling:
•Turn the ignition off before fueling; aninaccurate reading results if the engineis left running.
•Use the same fill rate(low-medium-high) each time the tankis filled.
•Allow no more than two automaticclick-offs when filling.
Results are most accurate when the fillingmethod is consistent.
