Maintenance 203
Running Out of Fuel
Avoid running out of fuel. 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 sev-
eral times after refueling to allow the fuel system to pump
the fuel from the tank to the engine. On restarting, crank-
ing time will take a few seconds longer than normal.
• Normally, adding 1 gallon (3.8L) of fuel is enough to
restart the engine. If the vehicle is out of fuel and on a
steep grade, more than 1 gallon (3.8L) may be required.
• The Service Engine Soon indicator light may illuminate.
For more information on the service engine soon indica-
tor, refer to Warning Lights on page 49 and Warning
Chimes page 52.
