Fuel and Refueling  
Turn the ignition off before fueling; an  
inaccurate reading results if the engine  
is left running.  
Use the same fill rate  
(low-medium-high) each time the tank  
is filled.  
The maximum tank capacity, during  
fueling, is reached when the pump is  
automatically cut off for the second  
time.  
Results are most accurate when the filling  
method is consistent.  
Fuel Economy  
Your vehicle calculates fuel economy  
figures through the trip computer average  
fuel function. See Trip Computer (page  
96).  
The first 1,000 mi (1,500 km) of driving is  
the break-in period of the engine. A more  
accurate measurement is obtained after  
2,000 mi (3,000 km).  
Impacting Fuel Economy  
Incorrect tire inflation pressures.  
Fully loading your vehicle.  
Carrying unnecessary weight.  
Adding certain accessories to your  
vehicle such as bug deflectors, rollbars  
or light bars, running boards and ski  
racks.  
Using fuel blended with alcohol.  
Fuel economy may decrease with lower  
temperatures.  
Fuel economy may decrease when  
driving short distances.  
You may get better fuel economy when  
driving on flat terrain than when driving  
on hilly terrain.
