Caution
Using any fuel not approved for
this vehicle can cause engine
damage and would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.
See “What Fuel to Use" for the
proper fuel.
In cold weather, the fuel filter could
become clogged by wax naturally
present in the fuel. To unclog it,
move the vehicle to a warm garage
area and allow the filter to warm up
to between 0°C (32°F) and 10°C
(50°F). You will not need to replace
the filter. Additional information on
the fuel filter follows.
Use of biodiesel blends greater than
B5 (5% blend) should be avoided in
cold temperatures.
Water in Fuel (Diesel)
The fuel filter assembly has a
sensor to determine if there is
water in the fuel. If there is
water in the fuel, a WATER IN
FUEL – CONTACT SERVICE
message will display. See Fuel
System Messages on page 5-30.
The water will need to be drained.
See your dealer.
Running Out of Fuel
(Diesel)
Running out of diesel fuel requires
priming after fuel is added.
With engine switched off,
turn ignition key to ON, wait
approximately 15 seconds, and turn
key to LOCK to perform priming
operation. Perform this operation
three times or more while the
engine is switched off, to avoid air
entering the fuel line.
