2. Open the fuel filler door.
Fuel Filler Door
NOTE:
In certain cold conditions, ice may prevent
the fuel door from opening. If this occurs,
lightly push on the fuel door to break the ice
buildup and re-release the fuel door using
the inside release button. Do not pry on the
door.
3. There is no fuel filler cap. A flapper door
inside the pipe seals the system.
4. Insert the fuel nozzle fully into the filler pipe
– the nozzle opens and holds the flapper
door while refueling.
NOTE:
Only the correct size nozzle opens the
latches allowing the flapper door to open.
5. Fill the vehicle with fuel – when the fuel
nozzle "clicks" or shuts off the fuel tank is full.
6. Maintain nozzle in filler for 5 seconds to
allow nozzle to drain.
7. Remove the fuel nozzle and close the fuel
door.
NOTE:
A funnel is provided (located in the trunk in
the spare tire area) to open the flapper door
to allow for emergency refueling with a gas
can.
Fuel Funnel
CAUTION!
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not
"top off" the fuel tank after filling.
WARNING!
• Never have any smoking materials lit in or
near the vehicle when the fuel door is open
or the tank is being filled.
