DO NOT apply grease to lugnut/stud holes or wheel-to-brake surfaces. RUNNING OUT OF FUEL If your vehicle is equipped with an Easy Fuel™ Љno capЉ fuel system and you have run out of fuel and need to refill the vehicle with a portable fuel container, see Running out of Fuel in the Maintenance and Specifications chapter for proper fuel filling method using a portable fuel container and the included fuel filler funnel.
