2. Open the luggage compartment. Themanual override lever is located on theleft-hand side.
3. Pull the manual override lever.
4. Switch the ignition off.
5. Complete the refueling process within20 minutes.
FUEL CONSUMPTION
The advertised capacity is the maximumamount of fuel that you can add to the fueltank after running out of fuel. Included in theadvertised capacity is an empty reserve. Theempty reserve is an unspecified amount offuel that remains in the fuel tank when thefuel gauge indicates empty.
Note:The amount of fuel in the emptyreserve varies and should not be relied uponto increase driving range.
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 tank is 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 is yourengine’s break-in period). A more accuratemeasurement is obtained after 2,000 mi(3,200 km) to 3,000 mi (4,800 km). Also, fuelexpense, frequency of fill ups or fuel gaugereadings are not accurate ways to measurefuel economy.
1. Fill the fuel tank completely and recordthe initial odometer reading.
2.Each time you fill the fuel tank, record theamount 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 per gallon)fuel consumption, divide miles traveled bygallons used.
Keep a record for at least one month andrecord the type of driving (city or highway). This provides an accurate estimate of yourvehicle's fuel economy under current drivingconditions. Keeping records during summerand winter will show how temperatureimpacts fuel economy.
