Maintenance and Specifications
The advertised capacity is the amount of the indicated capacity and the
empty reserve combined. Indicated capacity is the difference in the
amount of fuel in a full tank and a tank when the fuel gauge indicates
empty. Empty reserve is the small amount of fuel remaining in the fuel
tank after the fuel gauge indicates empty.
The amou nt of usa ble fuel in the empt y rese rve varies and shou ld
not be relie d upon to incr ease dr ivin g range. Whe n refuelin g you r
vehicle aft er the fuel gauge indica tes empt y, you might not be
able to refuel the full amou nt of the adve rtise d capa cit y of the
fuel tank du e to the empt y rese rve st ill pr ese nt in the tank.
For consistent results when filling the fuel tank:
•
•
Turn the engine/ignition switch to the off position prior to refueling,
an error in the reading will result if the engine is left running.
Use the same filling rate setting (low — medium — high) each time
the tank is filled.
•
•
•
•
Allow no more than two automatic click-offs when filling.
Always use fuel with the recommended octane rating.
Use a known quality gasoline, preferably a national brand.
Use the same side of the same pump and have the vehicle facing the
same direction each time you fill up.
•
Have the vehicle loading and distribution the same every time.
Your results will be most accurate if your filling method is consistent.
Calculating fuel economy
1.
Fill the fuel tank completely and record the initial odometer reading
(
in miles or kilometers) .
2.
Each time you fill the tank, record the amount of fuel added (in
gallons or liters) .
3.
After at least three to five tank fill-ups, fill the fuel tank and record
the current odometer reading.
4.
Subtract your initial odometer reading from the current odometer
reading.
5.
Follow one of the simple calculations in order to determine fuel
economy:
Calculation 1: Divide tot al mile s traveled by tot al gallon s use d.
Calculation 2: Mult iply lit ers use d by 100, the n divide by tot al
kilome ters traveled.
