If the engine has stalled due to
running out of fuel, try to restart it:
1. If parked on a level surface, add
at least 3.8 L (1 gal) of fuel. Up
to 18.9 L (5 gal) may be needed
if parked on a slope.
2. Follow the vehicle fuel system
priming procedure earlier in this
section to re-prime the system
and restart the engine.
If the check engine light comes on
due to running out of fuel, it may
take a few drive cycles to clear.
The fuel operated heater (FOH)
stops automatically when the fuel
tank volume is less than or equal to
10% of the total tank. The FOH fuel
lines will not need to be primed if
the vehicle runs out of fuel.
