the Easy Fuel™

no cap

fuel system as it can be damaged. You must use

the included funnel in such circumstances.

WARNING:

Do not insert the nozzle of portable fuel containers

or aftermarket funnels into the Easy Fuel™ system. This could

damage the fuel system and its seal, and may cause fuel to run onto
the ground instead of filling the tank, all of which could result in
serious personal injury.

JUMP STARTING
(LOW VOLTAGE [UNDERHOOD] BATTERY ONLY)

WARNING:

The gases around the battery can explode if

exposed to flames, sparks, or lit cigarettes. An explosion could

result in injury or vehicle damage.

WARNING:

Batteries contain sulfuric acid which can burn skin,

eyes and clothing, if contacted.

Do not attempt to push-start your automatic transmission
vehicle. Automatic transmissions do not have push-start
capability. Attempting to push-start a vehicle with an automatic
transmission may cause transmission damage.

Preparing your vehicle

If your low voltage (underhood) battery becomes disconnected or
disabled for any reason, the vehicle controller must relearn the engine’s
operating characteristics in order to operate it at maximum efficiency.
This relearning process occurs the first time the vehicle is driven after
reconnecting the low voltage battery. If the learning procedure does not
have time to complete during the drive, the engine will continue to
operate for 3-5 seconds after you turn the ignition off to complete the
relearning process. This is a normal condition and will not re-occur until
the low voltage battery is disconnected again. The brake system must
also be reset. Refer to

Low voltage (underhood) battery

in the

Maintenance and Specification

chapter for more information.

1.

Use only a 12–volt supply to start your vehicle.

2. Do not disconnect the battery of the disabled vehicle as this could

damage the vehicle’s electrical system.
