4-2Fuel and Refueling

∙ Do not attempt to top off the fuel tankaf ter the fuel pump nozzle shuts off
automatically. Continued refueling
may cause fuel overflow, resulting in
fuel spray and possibly a fire.
∙ Use only an original equipment type fuel-filler cap as a replacement. It has
a built-in safety valve needed for
proper operation of the fuel system
and emission control system. An in-
correct cap can result in a serious mal-
function and possible injury. It could
also cause the
Malfunction Indi-
cator Light (MIL) to come on.
∙ Do not use starting fluids with this en- gine. It is equipped with an intake air
heater. The use of starting fluid could
cause an explosion, fire, personal in-
jury, system or engine damage.
∙ Do not fill a portable fuel container in the vehicle or trailer. Static electricity
can cause an explosion of flammable
liquid, vapor or gas in any vehicle or
trailer. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death when filling portable
fuel containers:
– Always place the container on the ground when filling. – Do not use electronic devices when
filling.
– Keep the pump nozzle in contact with the container while you are
filling it.
– Use only approved portable fuel containers for flammable liquid.
CAUTION
∙ For additional information, refer tothe “Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)”
in the “Instruments and Controls” sec-
tion of the Titan Owner’s Manual.
∙ If fuel or Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is spilled on the vehicle body, flush it
away with water to avoid paint
damage To remove the diesel fuel-filler cap
A:
1. Turn the fuel-filler cap counterclock- wise to remove.
To install the fuel-filler cap: 1. Insert the fuel-filler cap straight into the fuel-filler tube.
2. Turn the cap clockwise until a single click is heard.

DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID (DEF) FILL
CAP
CAUTION
∙ Overfilling your DEF tank can causedamage to the tank. ∙ DEF will freeze below 12°F (-11°C); how-
ever, your vehicle is equipped with an
automatic preheating system, which
allows the DEF system to operate be-
low 12°F (-11°C). When the vehicle is not
in operation for an extended period of
time with temperatures at or below
12°F (-11°C), the DEF tank could freeze.
In this condition, adding DEF will not
change the gauge level and added
DEF will not reach the pump, because
it will sit on top of the frozen layer. Move the vehicle to a warm location to
thaw the DEF completely for the
gauge to read accurately and allow
new DEF to reach the pump. If the tank
is overfilled and freezes, it could be
damaged, therefore do not overfill in
sustained cold conditions below 12°F
(-11°C).
∙ Do not put DEF into the fuel tank. This can cause engine damage that is not
covered by your vehicle’s warranty.
∙ Immediately wipe away any DEF that has spilled on painted surfaces with
water and a damp cloth to prevent
damage to the paint.

5 In Case of Emergency
Jump starting...................................5-2

To start your engine with a booster battery,
the instructions and precautions below
must be followed.
WARNING
∙ If done incorrectly, jump starting canlead to a battery explosion, resulting
in severe injury or death. It could also
damage your vehicle.
∙ Explosive hydrogen gas is always present in the vicinity of the battery.
Keep all sparks and flames away from
the battery.
∙ Do not allow battery fluid to come into contact with eyes, skin, clothing or
painted surfaces. Battery fluid is a
corrosive sulfuric acid solution which
can cause severe burns. If the fluid
should come into contact with any-
thing, immediately flush the con-
tacted area with water.
∙ Keep battery out of the reach of children.
∙ The booster battery must be rated at 12 volts. Use of an improperly rated
battery can damage your vehicle. ∙ Whenever working on or near a bat-
tery, always wear suitable eye protec-
tors (for example, goggles or indus-
trial safety spectacles) and remove
rings, metal bands, or any other jew-
elry. Do not lean over the battery
when jump starting.
∙ Do not attempt to jump start a frozen battery. It could explode and cause
serious injury.
JUMP STARTING
5-2In Case of Emergency

WARNING
Always follow the instructions below.
Failure to do so could result in damage
to the charging system and cause per-
sonal injury.1. If the booster battery is in another ve- hicle, position the two vehicles to bring
their batteries near each other.
Do not allow the two vehicles to
touch. 2. Apply the parking brake. Move the shif t
lever to P (Park). Switch off all unneces-
sary electrical systems (lights, heater,
air conditioner, etc.).
3. Ensure the vent caps are level and tight.
4. Remove the fuse/fusible link box and connect jumper cables in the se-
quence illustrated (
A,B,C,D).
CAUTION
∙ Always connect positive () to posi-tive ( ) and negative () to body
ground (for example, strut mounting
bolt, engine lif t bracket, etc.) — not to
the battery.
∙ Make sure the jumper cables do not touch moving parts in the engine
compartment and that the cable
clamps do not contact any other
metal.
5. Start the engine of the booster vehicle and let it run for a few minutes.
6. Keep the engine speed of the booster vehicle at about 2,000 rpm, and start
the engine of the vehicle being jump
started.
CAUTION
Do not keep the starter motor engaged
for more than 10 seconds. If the engine
does not start right away, turn the key
off and wait 3 to 4 seconds before trying
again.
7. Af ter starting the engine, carefully dis- connect the negative cable and then
the positive cable.
