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 usable fuel remaining in the fuel tank after the
fuel gauge indicates empty.
The amount of empty reserve varies and should
not be relied upon to increase driving range.
When refueling your vehicle after the fuel
gauge indicates empty, you might not be able to
refuel the full amount of the advertised
capacity of the fuel tank due to the empty
reserve still present in the tank.
For consistent results when filling the fuel tank:
• Use the same filling rate setting (low — medium
— high) each time the tank is filled.
• Allow three 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 kilometers or miles).
2. Each time you fill the tank, record the amount of
fuel added (in liters or gallons).
3. After at least three to five tank fill-ups, fill the
fuel tank and record the current odometer reading.
