Note: When you insert the correct size fuel
pump nozzle a spring loaded inhibitor opens.

2. Insert the fuel pump nozzle up to the

first notch on the nozzle A. Keep it
resting on the cover of the fuel tank
filler pipe opening.

3. Hold the fuel pump nozzle in position

B when refueling. Holding the fuel
nozzle in position A can affect the flow
of fuel and shut off the fuel nozzle
before the fuel tank is full.

4. Operate the fuel pump nozzle within

the area shown.

5. When you finish refueling slightly raise

the fuel pump nozzle and slowly
remove it.

6. Fully close the fuel filler door.

Note: Do not attempt to start the engine
if you have filled the fuel tank with incorrect
fuel. Incorrect fuel use can cause damage
not covered by the vehicle Warranty. Have
your vehicle immediately checked.

System Warnings

(If Equipped)

If the fuel filler inlet does not fully close a
warning message appears in the
information display.

1.

Stop your vehicle as soon as it is safe
to do so and switch the engine off.

2. Shift into park (P) or neutral (N).

3. Apply the parking brake.

4. Fully open the fuel filler door.

5. Check the fuel filler inlet and the area

around it for any items or debris that
may be obstructing its movement.

6. Fully insert a fuel pump nozzle or the

fuel filler funnel provided with your
vehicle into the fuel filler inlet. This
action should dislodge any debris that
may be preventing the fuel filler inlet
from fully closing.

7.

Fully close the fuel filler door.

Note: If this action corrects the problem
the message may not immediately reset. If
the message remains and a warning lamp
illuminates, have your vehicle checked as
soon as possible.

FUEL CONSUMPTION

The advertised capacity is the maximum
amount of fuel that you can add to the fuel
tank after running out of fuel. Included in
the advertised capacity is an empty
reserve. The empty reserve is an
unspecified amount of fuel that remains
in the fuel tank when the fuel gauge
indicates empty.

Note: The amount of fuel in the empty
reserve varies and should not be relied upon
to increase driving range.

Filling the Fuel Tank

For consistent results when refueling:
•

Turn the ignition off before fueling; an
inaccurate reading results if the engine
is left running.

•

Use the same fill rate
(low-medium-high) each time the tank
is filled.

•

Allow no more than one automatic
shut-off when refueling.

Results are most accurate when the filling
method is consistent.

Calculating Fuel Economy

Do not measure fuel economy during the
first 1,000 mi (1,600 km) of driving (this is
your engine’s break-in period). A more
accurate measurement is obtained after
2,000 mi (3,200 km) to 3,000 mi
(4,800 km). Also, fuel expense, frequency
of fill ups or fuel gauge readings are not
accurate ways to measure fuel economy.

1.

Fill the fuel tank completely and record
the initial odometer reading.

2. Each time you fill the fuel tank, record

the amount of fuel added.

3. After at least three fill ups, fill the fuel

tank and record the current odometer
reading.

4. Subtract your initial odometer reading

from the current odometer reading.

To calculate L/100 km (liters per 100
kilometers) fuel consumption, multiply the
liters used by 100, then divide by kilometers
traveled. To calculate MPG (miles per
gallon) fuel consumption, divide miles
traveled by gallons used.

Keep a record for at least one month and
record the type of driving (city or highway).
This provides an accurate estimate of your
vehicle's fuel economy under current
driving conditions. Keeping records during
summer and winter will show how
temperature impacts fuel economy.

Conditions

•

Heavily loading your vehicle reduces
fuel economy.

•

Carrying unnecessary weight in your
vehicle may reduce fuel economy.

•

Adding certain accessories to your
vehicle such as bug deflectors, rollbars
or light bars, running boards and ski
racks may reduce fuel economy.

•

Using fuel blended with alcohol may
lower fuel economy.

•

Fuel economy may decrease with lower
temperatures.

•

Fuel economy may decrease when
driving short distances.

•

You will get better fuel economy when
driving on flat terrain than when driving
on hilly terrain.

EMISSION LAW

WARNING

Do not remove or alter the original
equipment floor covering or
insulation between it and the metal

floor of the vehicle. The floor covering and
insulation protect occupants of the vehicle
from the engine and exhaust system heat
and noise. On vehicles with no original
equipment floor covering insulation, do not
carry passengers in a manner that permits
prolonged skin contact with the metal
floor. Failure to follow these instructions
may result in fire or personal injury.

U.S. federal laws and certain state laws
prohibit removing or rendering inoperative
emission control system components.
Similar federal or provincial laws may
apply in Canada. We do not approve of any
vehicle modification without first
determining applicable laws.

Tampering with emissions
control systems including
related sensors or the Diesel

Exhaust Fluid system can result in reduced
engine power and the illumination of the
service engine soon light.

Tampering With a Noise Control
System

Federal laws prohibit the following acts:
•

Removal or rendering inoperative by
any person other than for purposes of
maintenance.

•

Repair or replacement of any device or
element of the design incorporated into
a new vehicle for the purpose of noise
control prior to its sale or delivery to
the ultimate purchaser or while it is in
use.

•

The use of the vehicle after any person
removes or renders inoperative any
device or element of the design.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
may presume to constitute tampering as
follows:
•

Removal of hood blanket, fender apron
absorbers, fender apron barriers,
underbody noise shields or acoustically
absorptive material.

•

Tampering or rendering inoperative the
engine speed governor, to allow engine
speed to exceed manufacturer
specifications.

If the engine does not start, runs rough,
experiences a decrease in engine
performance, experiences excess fuel
consumption or produces excessive
exhaust smoke, check for the following:
•

A plugged or disconnected air inlet
system hose.

•

A plugged engine air filter element.

•

Water in the fuel filter and water
separator.

•

A clogged fuel filter.

•

Contaminated fuel.

•

Air in the fuel system, due to loose
connections.

•

An open or pinched sensor hose.

•

Incorrect engine oil level.
