If this action corrects the problem, the

warning lamp may not reset immediately.

It may take several driving cycles for the

warning lamp to turn off. A driving cycle

consists of an engine start-up (after four

or more hours with the engine off) followed

by city or highway driving.

FUEL CONSUMPTION

Note: The amount of usable fuel in the

empty reserve varies and should not be

relied upon to increase driving range. When

refueling your vehicle after the fuel gauge

indicates empty, you might not be able to

refuel the full amount of the advertised

capacity of the fuel tank due to the empty

reserve still present in the tank.

Empty reserve is the amount of fuel

remaining in the tank after the fuel gauge

indicates empty. Do not rely on this fuel for

driving. The usable capacity of the fuel

tank is the amount of fuel that can be put

into the tank after the gauge indicates

empty. The advertised capacity is the total

fuel tank size – it is the combined usable

capacity plus the empty reserve.

Filling the Tank

For consistent results when filling the fuel

tank:

• 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 two automatic

click-offs when filling.

Results are most accurate when the filling

method is consistent.

Calculating Fuel Economy

Do not measure fuel economy during the

first 1000 miles (1600 kilometers) of

driving (this is your engine’s break-in

period); a more accurate measurement is

obtained after 2000 miles - 3000 miles

(3200 kilometers - 4800 kilometers). 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 tank, record the

amount of fuel added.

3. After at least three to five tank fill ups,

fill the fuel tank and record the current

odometer reading.

4. Subtract your initial odometer reading

from the current odometer reading.

5. Calculate fuel economy by dividing

miles traveled by gallons used (For

Metric: Multiply liters used by 100, then

divide by kilometers traveled).

Keep a record for at least one month and

record the type of driving (city or highway).

This provides an accurate estimate of the

vehicle’s fuel economy under current

driving conditions. Additionally, keeping

records during summer and winter show

how temperature impacts fuel economy.

In general, lower temperatures mean lower

fuel economy.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM

WARNINGS

Do not park, idle, or drive your vehicle

in dry grass or other dry ground cover.

The emission system heats up the

engine compartment and exhaust system,

which can start a fire.
