FUEL AND OIL REFRESH MODE
Since it is possible to operate this vehicle for
extended periods of time without running the
gas engine, the fuel within the vehicle’s fuel
tank can become stale or the engine oil’s
lubricating properties can be reduced. To
prevent engine and/or fuel system damage due
to stale fuel, as well as, maintaining internal
engine lubrication, this vehicle is equipped with
a “Fuel and Oil Refresh Mode”.
The vehicle will automatically enter into the Fuel
and Oil Refresh Mode to minimize potential for
stale fuel, and to ensure lubrication of internal
engine components. When operating in this
mode, the gas engine will run to provide vehicle
propulsion (electric only operation is inhibited).
A message will be displayed in the instrument
cluster whenever Fuel and Oil Refresh Mode is
active.
