could cause damage to the fuel system. Repairs to correct the effects of

using an aftermarket product in your fuel may not be covered by your

warranty.
Many of the world’s automakers approved the World-wide Fuel Charter

that recommends gasoline specifications to provide improved

performance and emission control system protection for your vehicle.

Gasolines that meet the World-wide Fuel Charter should be used when

available. Ask your fuel supplier about gasolines that meet the

World-wide Fuel Charter.

Running out of fuel

Avoid running out of fuel because this situation may have an adverse

effect on powertrain components.
If you have run out of fuel:

You may need to cycle 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. On restarting, cranking time will take a few seconds longer

than normal.

Normally, adding one gallon of fuel is enough to restart the engine. If

the vehicle is out of fuel and on a steep grade, more than one gallon

may be required.

The

indicator may come on. For more information on the “check

engine” or the “service engine soon” indicator, refer to

Warning lights

and chimes

in the

Instrument Cluster

chapter.

ESSENTIALS OF GOOD FUEL ECONOMY

Measuring techniques

Your best source of information about actual fuel economy is you, the

driver. You must gather information as accurately and consistently as

possible. Fuel expense, frequency of fillups or fuel gauge readings are

NOT accurate as a measure of fuel economy. We do not recommend

taking fuel economy measurements during the first 1,000 miles (1,600

km) of driving (engine break-in period). You will get a more accurate

measurement after 2,000 miles-3,000 miles (3,000 km–5,000 km).

Filling the tank

The advertised fuel capacity of the fuel tank on your vehicle is equal to

the rated refill capacity of the fuel tank as listed in the

Maintenance

product specifications and capacities

section of this chapter.
