RUNNING OUT OF FUEL -
DIESEL
Avoid running out of fuel. This allows air to
enter the fuel system and may make it
difficult to restart your vehicle.
If your vehicle runs out of fuel:
• Normally adding 4–5 gal (15–19 L) of
fuel is enough to restart the engine. If
your vehicle is out of fuel and on a
steep grade, more than 5 gal (19 L)
may be required.
• You must purge trapped air from the
system before restarting the engine.
Purging Air From the System
Switch the ignition on for 30 seconds and
then switch the ignition off. Repeat this
operation six times in a row to purge any
trapped air from the fuel system.
Any remaining air in the system self-purges
when the engine starts. The engine may
run rough or produce white smoke when
air remains in the fuel system. This is
normal and stops after a short period. If
the engine continues to run rough, have
your vehicle checked as soon as possible.
Starting the Engine
Do not crank the engine for more than 10
seconds as starter damage may occur. If
the engine fails to start, switch the ignition
off and wait 30 seconds before cranking
the engine again. See Starting a Diesel
Engine (page 102).
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL -
GASOLINE
Avoid running out of fuel because this
situation may have an adverse effect on
powertrain components.If you run out of fuel:
• You may need to switch the ignition
from off to on several times after
refueling to allow the fuel system to
pump the fuel from the tank to the
engine. When restarting, cranking time
takes a few seconds longer than
normal. With keyless ignition, just start
the engine. Crank time will be longer
than usual.
• Normally, adding 1 gal (3.8 L) of fuel is
enough to restart the engine. If the
vehicle is out of fuel and on a steep
grade, more than 1 gal (3.8 L) may be
required.
• The service engine soon indicator may
come on. See Warning Lamps and
Indicators (page 66).
REFUELING - DIESEL
WARNING: Fuel vapor burns
violently and a fuel fire can cause severe
injuries.
WARNING: Read and follow all the
instructions on the pump island.
WARNING: When refueling always
shut the engine off and never allow
sparks or open flames near the fuel tank
filler valve. Never smoke or use a cell
phone while refueling. Fuel vapor is
extremely hazardous under certain
conditions. Avoid inhaling excess fumes.
WARNING: Stay outside your
vehicle and do not leave the fuel pump
unattended when refueling your vehicle.
WARNING: Keep children away
from the fuel pump. Never let children
pump fuel.

Fuel and Refueling

Your vehicle may not pass the I/M test if
the service engine soon indicator is on or
not working properly (bulb is burned out),
or if the OBD-II system has determined
that some of the emission control systems
have not been properly checked. In this
case, the vehicle is not ready for I/M
testing.
If the vehicle’s engine or transmission has
just been serviced, or the battery has
recently run down or been replaced, the
OBD-II system may indicate that the
vehicle is not ready for I/M testing. To
determine if the vehicle is ready for I/M
testing, turn the ignition key to the on
position for 15 seconds without cranking
the engine. If the service engine soon
indicator blinks eight times, it means that
the vehicle is not ready for I/M testing; if
the service engine soon indicator stays on
solid, it means that your vehicle is ready
for I/M testing.
The OBD-II system checks the emission
control system during normal driving. A
complete check may take several days.
If the vehicle is not ready for I/M testing,
you can perform the following driving cycle
consisting of mixed city and highway
driving:
1. 15 minutes of steady driving on an
expressway or highway followed by 20
minutes of stop-and-go driving with at
least four 30-second idle periods.
2. Allow your vehicle to sit for at least
eight hours with the ignition off. Then,
start the vehicle and complete the
above driving cycle. The vehicle must
warm up to its normal operating
temperature. Once started, do not turn
off the vehicle until the above driving
cycle is complete.
If the vehicle is still not ready for I/M
testing, you need to repeat the above
driving cycle.SELECTIVE CATALYTIC
REDUCTANT SYSTEM - DIESEL
Your vehicle may have a selective catalytic
reduction system. This system helps
reduce emission levels of oxides of
nitrogen from the exhaust system. The
system automatically injects diesel
exhaust fluid into the exhaust system to
enable correct selective catalytic reduction
system function.
Note:Selective catalytic reduction systems
are not fitted to vehicles in markets where
only high-sulfur diesel fuel is available.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid Level
In order for the system to operate correctly
you must maintain the diesel exhaust fluid
level.
The system has a sensor to monitor fluid
level and quality/concentration. A warning
message appears in the information
display when the diesel exhaust fluid level
is low. If a warning message appears, refill
the diesel exhaust fluid tank as soon as
possible. See Information Messages
(page 74).
Filling the Diesel Exhaust Fluid
Tank
WARNING: Keep diesel exhaust
fluid out of reach of children. Avoid
contact with skin, eyes or clothing. In
case of contact with your eyes, flush
immediately with water and get prompt
medical attention. In case of contact
with your skin, clean immediately with
soap and water. If you swallow any
diesel exhaust fluid, drink plenty of
water, call a physician immediately.

Transmission

Your vehicle has a brake-shift interlock
feature that prevents the gearshift lever
from moving from park (P) when you
switch the ignition on but have not pressed
the brake pedal.
If you cannot move the gearshift lever out
of the park (P) position with the ignition in
the on position and the brake pedal
pressed, a malfunction could have
occurred. It is possible that a fuse has
blown, or your vehicle’s brake lamps are
not operating properly. See Fuse
Specification Chart (page 200).
If you do not have a blown fuse and the
brake lamps are working properly, the
following procedure allows you to move
the gearshift lever from park (P):
1. Apply the parking brake. Switch the
ignition key to off, then remove the key.
2. Move the steering column to the full
down and full rearward position,
toward the driver seat.
3. Remove the gearshift lever boot.
