SELECTING THE CORRECT FUEL -
GASOLINE

E161513

Your vehicle operates on regular unleaded
gasoline with a minimum pump (R+M)/2
octane rating of 87.

Some fuel stations, particularly those in
high altitude areas, offer fuels posted as
regular unleaded gasoline with an octane
rating below 87. The use of these fuels
could result in engine damage that will not
be covered by the vehicle Warranty.

For best overall vehicle and engine
performance, premium fuel with an octane
rating of 91 or higher is recommended. The
performance gained by using premium fuel
is most noticeable in hot weather as well
as other conditions, for example when
towing a trailer.  See 

Towing a Trailer

(page 403).

Do not be concerned if the engine
sometimes knocks lightly.  However, if the
engine knocks heavily while using fuel with
the recommended octane rating, contact
an authorized dealer to prevent any engine
damage.

We recommend Top Tier detergent
gasolines, where available to help minimize
engine deposits and maintain optimal
vehicle and engine performance.

For additional information, visit

www.toptiergas.com

.

Note:

Use of any fuel for which the vehicle

was not designed can impair the emission
control system, cause loss of vehicle
performance, and cause damage to the
engine which may not be covered by the
vehicle Warranty.

Do not use:

Diesel fuel.

Fuels containing kerosene or paraffin.

Fuel containing more than 15% ethanol
or E85 fuel.

Fuels containing methanol.

Fuels containing metallic-based
additives, including manganese-based
compounds.

Fuels containing the octane booster
additive, methylcyclopentadienyl
manganese tricarbonyl (MMT).

Leaded fuel, using leaded fuel is
prohibited by law.

The use of fuels with metallic compounds
such as methylcyclopentadienyl
manganese tricarbonyl, which is a
manganese-based fuel additive, will impair
engine performance and affect the
emission control system.

SWITCHING BETWEEN E85 AND

GASOLINE

We do not recommend repeatedly
alternating between E85 and gasoline. If
you switch from using E85 to gasoline, or
from gasoline to E85, add as much fuel as
possible, at least half a tank. Drive your
vehicle immediately for a minimum of 5 mi
(8 km) to allow it to adapt to the change
in ethanol concentration. If you use E85
exclusively, we recommend that you fill
the fuel tank with regular unleaded
gasoline at each scheduled oil change.

LOCATING THE FUEL FILLER
FUNNEL

Regular Cab

The fuel filler funnel is behind the
right-hand front seat.

Super Cab/Crew Cab

The fuel filler funnel is under the second
row right-hand rear seat.

RUNNING OUT OF FUEL

FILLING A PORTABLE FUEL
CONTAINER

WARNING: 

Flow of fuel through a

fuel pump nozzle can produce static
electricity. This can cause a fire if you are
filling an ungrounded fuel container.

Use the following guidelines to avoid
electrostatic charge build-up, which can
produce a spark, when filling an
ungrounded fuel container:

Only use an approved fuel container to
transfer fuel to your vehicle.  Place the
container on the ground when filling it.

Do not fill a fuel container when it is
inside your vehicle (including the cargo
area).

Keep the fuel pump nozzle in contact
with the fuel container when filling it.

Do not use a device that holds the fuel
pump nozzle lever in the fill position.

ADDING FUEL FROM A PORTABLE
FUEL CONTAINER

WARNING: 

Do not insert the nozzle

of a fuel container or an aftermarket
funnel into the fuel filler neck. This may
damage the fuel system filler neck or its
seal and cause fuel to run onto the
ground.

WARNING: 

Do not pry open the

fuel tank filler valve. This could damage
the fuel system. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in fire, personal
injury or death.

WARNING: 

Do not dispose of fuel

in the household refuse or the public
sewage system. Use an authorized waste
disposal facility.

When refueling the vehicle fuel tank from
a fuel container, use the fuel filler funnel
included with your vehicle.  See 

Locating

the Fuel Filler Funnel

 (page 250).

Note:

Do not use aftermarket funnels as

they may not work with the capless fuel
system and can damage it.

When refueling the vehicle fuel tank from
a fuel container, do the following:

1.

Fully open the fuel filler door.

250

Fuel and Refueling

Note:

If your vehicle runs out of fuel add a

minimum of 1.3 gal (5 L) of fuel to restart
the engine.

Note:

You may need to switch the ignition

from off to on several times after refueling
to allow the fuel system to pump the fuel
from the tank to the engine. When
restarting, cranking time takes a few
seconds longer than normal.

Note:

Extra funnels can be purchased from

an authorized dealer if you choose to
dispose of the funnel.

WHAT IS THE CATALYTIC
CONVERTER

The catalytic converter is part of your
vehicle's emissions system and filters
harmful pollutants from the exhaust gas.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER
PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: 

Do not park, idle or

drive your vehicle on dry grass or other
dry ground cover. The emission system
heats up the engine compartment and
exhaust system, creating the risk of fire.

WARNING: 

The normal operating

temperature of the exhaust system is
very high. Never work around or attempt
to repair any part of the exhaust system
until it has cooled. Use special care when
working around the catalytic converter.
The catalytic converter heats up to a very
high temperature after only a short
period of engine operation and stays hot
after the engine is switched off.

WARNING: 

Exhaust leaks may

result in entry of harmful and potentially
lethal fumes into the passenger
compartment. If you smell exhaust
fumes inside your vehicle, have your
vehicle inspected immediately. Do not
drive if you smell exhaust fumes.

To avoid damaging the catalytic converter:

Do not crank the engine for more than
10 seconds at a time.

Do not run the engine with a spark plug
lead disconnected.

Do not push-start or tow-start your
vehicle. Use booster cables. See 

Jump

Starting the Vehicle

 (page 465).

Use the correct fuel. See 

Fuel and

Refueling

 (page 247).

Do not switch the ignition off when your
vehicle is moving.

Avoid running out of fuel.

Have the items listed in scheduled
maintenance information performed
according to the specified schedule.

Note:

Do not make any unauthorized

changes to your vehicle or engine. By law,
vehicle owners and anyone who
manufactures, repairs, or services a fleet of
vehicles are not permitted to intentionally
remove an emission control device or
prevent it from working.
