If frequent jump starting is required to start your
vehicle you should have the battery and
charging system tested at an authorized dealer.
REFUELING IN EMERGENCY – IF EQUIPPED
The vehicle is equipped with a refueling funnel
for a Cap-Less Fuel System. If refueling is
necessary, while using an approved gas can,
insert the refueling funnel into the filler neck
opening. Take care to open both flappers with
the funnel to avoid spills
NOTE:
Vehicles with diesel engines will have a cap to
remove to begin the refueling process.
Diesel Fuel Cap
NOTE:
In certain cold conditions, ice may prevent the
fuel door from opening. If this occurs, lightly
push on the fuel door to break the ice buildup
and re-release the fuel door using the inside
release button. Do not pry on the door.
CAUTION!
Do not run the booster vehicle engine above
2,000 RPM since it provides no charging ben -
efit, wastes fuel, and can damage booster
vehicle engine.
CAUTION!
Accessories plugged into the vehicle power
outlets draw power from the vehicle’s battery,
even when not in use (i.e., cellular devices,
etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long enough
without engine operation, the vehicle’s bat -
tery will discharge sufficiently to degrade bat -
tery life and/or prevent the engine from
starting.
