5. Insert a fuel pump nozzle or the fuelfiller funnel provided with your vehiclein to the fuel tank filler pipe opening.This action should dislodge any debristhat may be preventing the fuel fillerinlet from fully closing.
Note: If this action corrects the problemthe message may not reset immediately. Ifthe message remains and the service enginesoon warning lamp appears in theinformation display, have your vehiclechecked as soon as possible.
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 you can add tothe fuel tank when the fuel gaugeindicates empty, before the first fuelfiller nozzle automatic shutoff event.
•The advertised capacity is equal to thevolumetric difference between actualfuel fill before the first fuel filler nozzleautomatic shutoff event and the fuelquantity when the fuel gauge indicatesempty. See Capacities andSpecifications (page 304). It is theusable capacity minus the emptyreserve.
•Due to the empty reserve, you may beable to add more fuel than theadvertised capacity of the fuel tankwhen the fuel gauge indicates empty.
Filling the Fuel 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 one automaticshut-off when refueling.
Results are most accurate when the fillingmethod is consistent.
Calculating Fuel Economy
Do not measure fuel economy during thefirst 1,000 mi (1,600 km) of driving (this isyour engine’s break-in period). A moreaccurate measurement is obtained after2,000 mi (3,200 km) to 3,000 mi(4,800 km). Also, fuel expense, frequencyof fill ups or fuel gauge readings are notaccurate ways to measure fuel economy.
1.Fill the fuel tank completely and recordthe initial odometer reading.
2. Each time you fill the fuel tank, recordthe amount of fuel added.
3. After at least three fill ups, fill the fueltank and record the current odometerreading.
4. Subtract your initial odometer readingfrom the current odometer reading.
To calculate L/100 km (liters per 100kilometers) fuel consumption, multiply theliters used by 100, then divide by kilometerstraveled. To calculate MPG (miles pergallon) fuel consumption, divide milestraveled by gallons used.

ESSENTIAL TOWING CHECKS
Follow these guidelines for safe towing:
•Do not tow a trailer until you drive yourvehicle at least 1000 miles (1600kilometers).
•Consult your local motor vehicle lawsfor towing a trailer.
•See the instructions included withtowing accessories for the properinstallation and adjustmentspecifications.
•Service your vehicle more frequently ifyou tow a trailer. See your scheduledmaintenance information.
•If you use a rental trailer, follow theinstructions the rental agency givesyou.
See Load limits in the Load Carryingchapter for load specification terms foundon the tire label and Safety Compliancelabel and instructions on calculating yourvehicle's load.
Remember to account for the trailertongue weight as part of your vehicle loadwhen calculating the total vehicle weight.
Trailer Towing Connector(Vehicles with a Trailer TowingPackage and 7–Pin Connector)
When attaching the trailer wiring connectorto your vehicle, only use a proper fittingconnector that works with the vehicle andtrailer functions. Some seven-positionconnectors may have the SAE J2863 logo,which confirms that it is the proper wiringconnector and works correctly with yourvehicle.

Hitches
WARNING
The trailer hitch on this vehicle is partof the vehicle rear crash safetystructure. Do not remove the trailerhitch. Failure to follow this warning couldcompromise vehicle crash structure andincrease the risk of injury in a rear endcrash.
Do not use a hitch that either clamps ontothe bumper or attaches to the axle.
Distribute the trailer load so 10-15% of thetotal trailer weight is on the tongue.
