Warning (Continued)
Fuel can spray out if the fuel
cap is opened too quickly.
This spray can happen if the
tank is nearly full, and is
more likely in hot weather.
Open the fuel cap slowly
and wait for any hiss noise
to stop, then unscrew the
cap all the way.
The tethered fuel cap is behind a
hinged fuel door on the passenger
side of the vehicle. To open the fuel
filler door, lift the fuel door release
lever. The lever is on the floor, on
the left front side of the driver seat.
The fuel door is unlocked when the
vehicle is unlocked. Locking the
vehicle locks the fuel door.
To remove the fuel cap, turn it
slowly counterclockwise.
Warning
Overfilling the fuel tank by more
than three clicks of a standard fill
nozzle may cause:
Vehicle performance issues,
including engine stalling and
damage to the fuel system.
Fuel spills.
Potential fuel fires.
Driving and Operating
Be careful not to spill fuel. Wait a
few seconds after you have finished
pumping before removing the
nozzle. Clean fuel from painted
surfaces as soon as possible. See
Exterior Care 0 268.
When replacing the fuel cap, turn it
clockwise until it clicks. Make sure
the cap is fully installed. The
diagnostic system can determine if
the fuel cap has been left off or
improperly installed. This would
allow fuel to evaporate into the
atmosphere. See Malfunction
Indicator Lamp (Check Engine
Light) 0 99.
Push the fuel door closed until it
latches.
Warning
If a fire starts while you are
refueling, do not remove the
nozzle. Shut off the flow of fuel by
shutting off the pump or by
notifying the station attendant.
Leave the area immediately.
