FUELING

1. 1
   Place the vehicle in PARK and turn the ignition off.
2. 2
   Press near the rear edge and center of the fuel filler door to release it. The door will open. Open the door fully by hand.

   

3. 3
   Open the fuel filler door.

   

   NOTE:

   In some cold conditions, ice may prevent the fuel filler door from opening. If this occurs, lightly press on the fuel filler door to break the accumulated ice.

4. 4
   There is no fuel filler cap. Two flaps inside the pipe seal the system.
5. 5
   Fully insert the fuel nozzle into the filler neck. The nozzle will open the flaps and hold them open during refueling.
6. 6
   Fuel the vehicle. Stop refueling when the fuel nozzle clicks off or the fuel tank is full.
7. 7
   Hold the nozzle in the filler neck for five seconds to allow fuel to drain from the nozzle.
8. 8
   Remove the fuel nozzle and close the fuel filler door.
9. 9
   To close the fuel filler door, press on the center rear edge (at the three o'clock position) of the fuel filler door, then release.

NOTE:

A funnel (located in the cargo area near the spare tire) is provided for opening the flapper doors for emergency refueling with a gas can.

• Never light any smoking materials in or near the vehicle when the fuel filler door is open or the fuel tank is being filled.
• Never refuel with the engine running. This is in violation of most state and federal fire safety regulations and may cause the Malfunction Indicator Light to illuminate.
• A fire may occur if fuel is pumped into a portable container that is inside the vehicle. You may be burned. Always place fuel containers on the ground when filling.
