56 STARTING AND OPERATING
If the fuel door does not re-latch upon

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.
5. Remove the fuel filler cap.
6. Insert the nozzle and fill the vehicle with fuel;
when the fuel nozzle "clicks" or shuts off the
fuel tank is full.
7. Wait five seconds before removing the fuel
nozzle to allow excess fuel to drain from
nozzle.
8. Remove the fuel nozzle, replace the fuel filler
cap by turning until you hear one click, and
then close the fuel door.
NOTE:
Tighten the fuel filler cap about a quarter

turn until you hear one click. This is an indi-
cation that the cap is properly tightened.
After the click, pull on the cap at the handle

to verify it is secure and fastened.
If it is loose, and not secured to the filler

tube, reinstall and tighten again about a
quarter turn until you hear the click.
Verify the cap tether is not pinched between

the cap and filler tube.
If the fuel filler cap is not tightened properly,

the yellow Loose Fuel Filler Cap Warning
Light and the "Check Fuel Cap" message
will appear in the instrument cluster.
Be sure the cap is tightened every time the

vehicle is refueled.
WARNING!
Never have any smoking materials lit in or

near the vehicle when the fuel door is open or
the tank is being filled.
Never add fuel when the engine is running.

This is in violation of most state and federal
fire regulations and may cause the Malfunc-
tion Indicator Light to turn on.
A fire may result if fuel is pumped into a

portable container that is inside of a vehicle.
You could be burned. Always place fuel
containers on the ground while filling.
CAUTION!
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not "top
off" the fuel tank after filling.
