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 76). • E161513 Regular unleaded gasoline with a pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87 is recommended.

Octane Recommendations

E161513

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.

Do not be concerned if your engine

sometimes knocks lightly. However, if it

knocks heavily under most driving

conditions 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 76).

Refilling With a Portable Fuel

Container

WARNINGS

The fuel system may be under

pressure. If the fuel filler cap is

venting vapor or if you hear a hissing

sound, wait until it stops before completely

removing the fuel filler cap. Otherwise, fuel

may spray out and cause personal injury.

Do not try to pry open or push open

the fuel system with foreign objects.

This could damage the fuel system

and its seal and cause personal injury to

you or others.

Use the following directions when filling

from a portable fuel container:

Remove the fuel cap from the fuel filler

pipe by rotating it counter clockwise.

Slowly insert the portable fuel

container into the fuel filler opening.
