3. Fill the vehicle with fuel from the portable fuel container.
4. When done, clean the funnel or properly dispose of it. Extra funnels
can be purchased from your authorized dealer if you choose to dispose
of the funnel.
Do not
use aftermarket funnels; they will not work with
the Easy Fuel
威
system and can damage it. The included funnel has been
specially designed to work safely with your vehicle.
ESSENTIALS OF GOOD FUEL ECONOMY
Measuring techniques
Your best source of information about actual fuel economy is you, the
driver. You must gather information as accurately and consistently as
possible. Fuel expense, frequency of fill-ups or fuel gauge readings
are NOT accurate as a measure of fuel economy. We do not
recommend taking fuel economy measurements during the first
1,000 miles (1,600 km) of driving (engine break-in period). You will
get a more accurate measurement after 2,000 miles–3,000 miles
(3,000 km–5,000 km).
Filling the tank
The advertised fuel capacity of the fuel tank on your vehicle is equal to
the rated refill capacity of the fuel tank as listed in the
Maintenance
product specifications and capacities
section of this chapter.
The advertised capacity is the amount of the indicated capacity and the
empty reserve combined. Indicated capacity is the difference in the
amount of fuel in a full tank and a tank when the fuel gauge indicates
empty. Empty reserve is the small amount of fuel remaining in the fuel
tank after the fuel gauge indicates empty.
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.
For consistent results when filling the fuel tank:
•
Turn the engine/ignition switch to the off prior to refueling, an error in
the reading will result if the engine is left running.
•
Use the same filling rate setting (low — medium — high) each time
the tank is filled.
•
Allow no more than two automatic click-offs when filling.
•
Always use fuel with the recommended octane rating.
