Check System (see page 141) flashes when
driving, the engine may be overheated be­
cause of low coolant level.
Note
Do not install accessories (addi­
tional lights or Insect screens. for
example) on top of the front bumper.
They may restrict engine cooling
and cause engine damage.
Always heed all WA RNINGS
on page 142 and 232. 5
- Fuel gauge
iU
The fuel gauge works when the ignition is
switched on.
The fuel tank capacity is approximately 18.5
gallons (70 liters).
When the needle reaches the red area
there is a reserve of about 2.4 U.S. gallon �
(9 liters) of fuel left in the tank. lime to re­
fuel.
The fuel pump symbol in the instrument
cluster lights up as an additional reminder to
refuel.
Never run the tank completely dry. See also

off see page 193.
The speedometer indicates the speed.
On U.S. models, the outer row of numbers

1n m1les per hour (mph). The inner row
(small numbers) indicates the vehicle
speed in kilometres per hour (km I h).

Refu
elling the vehicle
Yo ur vehicle fuel tank has an on-board refu­
elling vapor recovery system. This feature
helps to prevent fuel vapors from escaping
from the tank and polluting the environment
while you refuel your vehicle.
In order to fill your tank properly while pro­
tecting the environment. please follow this
refueling procedure carefully:
• Turn off the engine.
• Remove the fuel filler cap by turning it
slowly counter clockwise allowing fuel
pressure to dissi pate.
• Insert the fuel nozzle from the gasoline
pump into the fuel filler neck as far as it will
go.
Select a medium refuelling rate, when filling
your tank. �W
ARNING
Failure to shut the engine off while
re fueling and I or to insert the
pump nozzle fully into the car's
filler neck could cause fuel over­
flow and fuel spray which can
cause fire or serious injury.
• Stop refueling when the fuel pump shuts
off automatical ly - do not add more fuel or
"top off". dih As soon as the correctly oper­� ated nozzle switches off auto­
matically for the first time, the tank
is full. Do not try to add more fuel,
because fuel may spill out. In addi­
tion, the expansion space in the fuel
tank will be filled -causing the fuel
to overflow when it becomes warm
and pollute the environment.
• After filling your tank, turn the fuel filler
cap clockwise until you hear a definite click.
To avoid fuel spilling or evapor ating from the
fue I tank a I ways close fuel filler cap properly
and completely. VE

Notes
• If you cannot fully insert the pump nozzle,
use another fuel pump or change gas sta­
tions.
• Do not refuel your vehicle with the igni­
tion switched on. The fuel gauge may other­
wise not indicate the exact fuel level after
refu elling.

Fuel supply
..:lib Use only unleaded fuel in your
�v ehicle.
Fuel Recommendation
The fuel recommended for your ve­
hicle is unleaded premium grade
gasoline with a minimum octane rat­
ing of 91 AK PI/9 5 RON or higher.
The recommended gasoline octane rating
for your engine can also be found on a label
lo �ated on the inside of the fuel filler flap.
Th1s rat1ng may be specified as AKI or RON.
Yo ur vehicle may also be operated using un­
leaded regular gasoline with a minimum oc­
tane rating of 87 AKI /91 RON. However,
using 87 AKI I 91 RON octane fuel will lead
to a cert ain loss of engine power.
1l =(R+ Ml/2 Notes
• Do not usa any fuel with octane
ratings lower than 87 AKI or 91 RON
otherwise expansive engine damage
will occur.
• Do not use leaded gasoline!
The use of leaded gasoline will se­
verely damage your vehicle's cata­
lytic converter and its ability to con­
trol exhaust emissions.
Unleaded gasoline is available throughout
the USA, Canada, and in most European
countries. We recommend that you do not
take your vehicle to areas or countries
where unleaded gasoline may not be avail­
able. VE

Octane rating
Octane rating indicates a gasoline's ability
to resist engine damaging "knock" caused
by pre-ignition and detonation. Therefore
�uying the correct grade of gasol ine is ve r-{
Important to help prevent possible engine
damage and a loss of engine performance.
Gasolines most commonly used in the
Uni ted States and Canada have the follow­
ing octane ratings that can usually be found
on the filler pump:
Premium Grade: 91 - 96 AKI
Regular Grade: 87 -90 AKI
Explanation of the abbreviations:
AKI = Anti Knock Index =
(R+M) I 2 = (RON+MON) I 2
RON = Research Octane Number
MON = Motor Octane Number.
