Starting the Engine
Starting the Engine
Keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal when
starting the engine.
The engine is harder to start in cold weather and
in thinner air found at altitudes above 8,000 feet
(2,400 meters).
When doing so, turn off all electrical accessories
(the lights, heating and cooling system, and rear
defogger) in order to reduce battery drain.
If you regularly drive in very cold weather (below
-4°F [-20°C]), consider having an engine block
h e a t e r.
If the exhaust system sounds abnormal or you
can smell exhaust gas inside the vehicle, have
your vehicle checked by a dealer. There may be a
problem with the engine or exhaust system.
Brake Pedal
1. Make sure the parking brake is applied.
2. Check that the shift lever is in P
, then
depress the brake pedal.
Although it is possible to start the vehicle
in
N, it is safer to start it in P.

Refueling How to Refuel

How to Refuel
If you hear or see fuel/vapor leaking from the
nozzle-receptacle connection, stop refueling
immediately. Turn off the refueling station, remove
the nozzle, reconnect it to the receptacle, and begin
refueling again. Dirt or debris adhered to the inside
of the fuel receptacle can cause a gas leak. Remove
dirt or debris with a clean, dry rag from the CNG
filler nozzle.
If it continues to leak, have an authorized CNG
dealer inspect the sealing O-ring in the fuel
receptacle. It may be missing, damaged, or worn.
If you are not sure how to operate the refueling
station, ask for assistance.6. Turn the lever until the arrows on the
nozzle point to each other, then follow
the instructions on the refueling station to
begin refueling.
While refueling, you may hear a chattering
sound. This is normal.
7. Refueling will stop automatically when the
tank is full. Follow the instructions on the
refueling station to turn it off.
8. Disconnect the CNG fill nozzle from the
fuel receptacle by slowly turning the lever
on the nozzle 180 degrees.
You may hear a brief hissing sound as a
small amount of gas escapes, and may
detect a slight gas odor. This is normal.
9. After filling, replace the receptacle dust
cap on the fuel receptacle securely.
Shut the fuel receptacle lid by hand.
