See “Add-On Electrical
Equipment” in the owner manual.
Fuel
This vehicle is designed to operate
on Compressed Natural Gas (CNG).
The general marketplace fuel quality
of Compressed Natural Gas for
motor vehicles in the state of
California should be in compliance
with Title 13 California Code of
Regulations, Section 2292.5. The
remaining regions of North America
do not employ regulated fuel quality
standards for general marketplace
vehicle usage; however, CNG is
available at both private and public
filling stations. We recommend the
use of CNG that meets or exceeds
SAE J1616 specifications for fuel
composition and cleanliness.
Caution
Using below standard CNG fuel
quality may cause damage to the
CNG fuel system. Use only CNG
fuel meeting recommended CNG
fuel standards. The main component of CNG is
methane, a highly flammable,
colorless gas. An odorant has been
added for detection through smell.
The smell is similar to that of rotten
eggs. The CNG in the vehicle is
stored under high pressure
(maximum 24 800 kPa/3,600 psig).
Gas should never be smelled and a
hissing sound should not be heard,
unless refueling is being done.
If gas is smelled or a hissing sound
is heard at any other time, shut
down the vehicle and have it
serviced. It may be possible to hear
the fuel flowing while the engine is
running if standing close to the
pipework or various fuel system
components (regulator, filter). This is
normal and should not be confused
with a hissing sound at fittings that
may indicate a fuel leak. Follow the
instructions under
Fuel System Leak
0 10.
