Fuel System

The fuel system consists of:

- a 2-speed Mechanical Returnless Fuel System (MRFS).
- a standard L-shaped fuel tank.
- an Easy Fuel(TM) (capless) fuel tank filler pipe assembly, which cannot be modified in any way.
- a Fuel Pump (FP) module containing:
- an electric FP, which provides pressurized fuel to the fuel rail.
- a serviceable fuel level sender.
- a check valve, which maintains system pressure after the FP is shut off.
- a pressure relief valve for overpressure protection in the event of restricted fuel flow.
- a lifetime fuel filter providing filtration to protect the fuel injectors from foreign material.

- fuel, vapor and brake tubes in an integrated bundle assembly attached to the underside of the vehicle by retaining clips.
- has a supplemental refueling adapter located in the luggage compartment.
- a FP control module.


Fuel System Shutoff Feature

In event of a moderate to severe collision, the vehicle is equipped with a FP shutoff feature that is initiated by the event notification signal. The event notification signal is a signal provided by the RCM to the FP control module. Signal communication between the RCM and the FP control module allows the PCM to shut-off the FP module. Should the vehicle shut-off after a collision due to this feature, restart the vehicle by first turning the ignition to the OFF position and then turn the ignition to the ON position. In some instances, the vehicle may not restart the first time and may take an additional attempt.
