Regular unleaded gasoline with a pump

(R+M)/2 octane rating of 87 is

recommended. Some stations offer fuels

posted as "Regular" with an octane rating

below 87, particularly in high altitude areas.

Fuels with octane levels below 87 are not

recommended. Premium fuel will provide

improved performance and is

recommended for severe duty usage such

as trailer tow.

Do not be concerned if your engine

sometimes knocks lightly. However, if it

knocks heavily while you are using fuel with

the recommended octane rating, see your

authorized dealer to prevent any engine

damage.

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. With

keyless ignition, just start the engine.

Crank time will be longer than usual.

• Normally, adding 1 gallon (3.8 liters) of

fuel is enough to restart the engine. If

the vehicle is out of fuel and on a steep

grade, more than 1 gallon (3.8 liters)

may be required.

• The service engine soon indicator may

come on. For more information on the

service engine soon indicator, See

Warning Lamps and Indicators

(page 85).

Refilling With a Portable Fuel

Container

WARNINGS

Do not insert the nozzle of portable

fuel containers or aftermarket

funnels into the capless 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.

Do not try to pry open or push open

the capless fuel system with foreign

objects. This could damage the fuel

system and its seal and cause injury to you

or others.

Note: Do not use aftermarket funnels; they

will not work with the capless fuel system

and can damage it. The included funnel has

been specially designed to work safely with

your vehicle.

When filling the vehicle’s fuel tank from a

portable fuel container, use the funnel

included with the vehicle. The funnel is

located in the rear of the vehicle, inside the

load compartment, underneath the load

floor carpet.

1. Locate the portable funnel that comes

with your vehicle.

E157279

2. Slowly insert the funnel into the

capless fuel system.
