DO NOT use gasoline containing METHANOL.
Gasoline containing methanol may damage critical
fuel system components.

Even if the display still reads a few degrees above
32°F (0°C), the road surface may be icy, particularly
in woods or on bridges. Drive carefully under such
conditions to prevent an accident and possible per-
sonal injury or property damage.
Step Button
Press the STEP button to cycle through all of the displays.
The displays are: Average Miles/GAL, Miles To Empty,
Trip Miles, Time Elapsed, Miles To Service, Tire PSI, and
Blank Screen.
Average Miles/GAL
Shows the average fuel economy in miles per gallon
(MPG), or liters per 100 km (L/100 km) since the last
reset.Miles To Empty
Shows the estimated distance that can be traveled before
the fuel gauge shows E (Empty). The distance is calcu-
lated by multiplying the amount of fuel remaining by the
projected fuel economy. The distance predicted will
change every few seconds to a higher or lower number as
these factors change. This display cannot be reset.
Trip Miles
Shows the distance traveled since the last reset.
Time Elapsed
Shows the accumulated ignition ON time since the last
reset.
Miles To Service
Shows the amount of miles remaining until service is

136 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

Never pour fuel or other flammable liquids into the
throttle body air inlet opening in an attempt to start
the vehicle. This could result in a flash fire causing
serious personal injury.
If Engine Fails to Start
If the engine fails to start after you have followed the
“Normal Starting” procedure, it may be flooded. Push
the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and hold it
there while cranking the engine. This should clear any
excess fuel in case the engine is flooded.
CAUTION!
To prevent damage to the starter, do not crank the
engine for more than 15 seconds at a time. Wait 10 to
15 seconds before trying again.

DO NOT use gasoline containing METHANOL.
Gasoline containing methanol may damage critical
fuel system components.

Do not use alcohol or gasoline as a fuel blending
agent. They can be unstable under certain conditions
and hazardous or explosive when mixed with diesel
fuel.
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top
off” the fuel tank after filling.
CAUTION!
DO NOT put gasoline in your diesel vehicle (if
equipped). If you accidentally put gasoline in your
vehicle, DO NOT start the engine. This will cause
damage to the fuel system. Have the fuel system
flushed.

Damage to the fuel system or emission control
system could result from using an improper fuel
tank filler cap (gas cap). A poorly fitting cap could let
impurities into the fuel system.
WARNING!

Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it
started. Unburned fuel could enter the catalytic
converter and, once the engine has started, ignite and
damage the converter and vehicle.Tow hooks are for emergency use only, to rescue a
vehicle stranded off road. Do not use tow hooks for
tow truck hookup or highway towing. You could
damage your vehicle. Tow straps are recommended
when towing the vehicle, chains may cause vehicle
damage.
WARNING!
Stand clear of vehicles when pulling with tow
hooks. Tow straps and chains may break, causing
serious injury.
