4. After you are done pumping fuel, slowly

remove the fuel filler nozzle—allow

about 5 to 10 seconds after pumping

fuel before removing the fuel filler

nozzle. This allows residual fuel to

drain back into the fuel tank and not

spill onto the vehicle.

Note: A fuel spillage concern may occur if

overfilling the fuel tank. Do not overfill the

tank. The fill pipe is equiped with a drain

hole. Excess fuel due to overfill may drain

through the drain hole and drip onto the

ground."

If the fuel fill inlet was not properly closed,

a Check Fuel Fill Inlet message may

appear on the instrument cluster.

At the next opportunity, do the following:

1. Safely pull off the road.

2. Put the vehicle in P (Park) and turn the

ignition off.

3. Open the fuel filler door and remove

any visible debris from the fuel fill

opening.

4. Insert either the fuel fill nozzle or the

fuel fill funnel provided with the vehicle

several times to allow the inlet to close

properly. This will dislodge any debris

preventing the inlet from sealing.

If this action corrects the problem, the

message may not reset immediately. It

may take several driving cycles for the

message to turn off. A driving cycle

consists of an engine start-up (after 4 or

more hours with the engine off) followed

by city or highway driving. Continuing to

drive with the message on may cause the

service engine soon lamp to turn on as

well.

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.
