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 1 gallon (3.8L) of fuel is enough to restart the
engine. If the vehicle is out of fuel and on a steep grade, more than
1 gallon (3.8L) may be required.

The

Service engine soon

indicator may come on. For more

information on the “service engine soon” indicator, refer to

Refilling with a portable fuel container

With the Easy Fuel™ “no cap” fuel system, use the following directions
when filling from a portable fuel container:

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, which could result in serious
personal injury.

WARNING:

Do not try to pry open or push open the Easy

Fuel™ system with foreign objects. This could damage the fuel

system and its seal and cause injury to you or others.

When filling the vehicle’s fuel tank from a portable fuel container, use the
included funnel.

1. Locate the white plastic funnel.

It is attached to the inside of
the rear passenger side cargo
compartment access door.
