Warning (Continued)
Turn off the engine when refueling.
Keep sparks, flames, and smoking
materials away from fuel.
Do not leave the fuel pump
unattended.
Avoid using electronic devices while
refueling.
Do not re-enter the vehicle while
pumping fuel.
Keep children away from the fuel
pump and never let children
pump fuel.
Before touching the fill nozzle, touch a
metallic object to discharge static
electricity from your body.
Fuel can spray out if the fill nozzle is
inserted too quickly. This spray can
happen if the tank is nearly full, and is
more likely in hot weather. Insert the
fill nozzle slowly and wait for any hiss
noise to stop before beginning to
flow fuel.
To open the fuel door, push and release the
rearward center edge of the door.
The capless refueling system does not have
a fuel cap. Fully insert and latch the fill
nozzle, begin fueling.
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.
Under certain conditions, fuel fires.
Driving and Operating
Be careful not to spill fuel. Wait five seconds
after you have finished pumping before
removing the fill nozzle. Clean fuel from
painted surfaces as soon as possible. See
Exterior Care 0 282. Push the fuel door
closed until it latches.
Warning
If a fire starts while you are refueling, do
not remove the fill nozzle. Shut off the
flow of fuel by shutting off the pump or
by notifying the station attendant. Leave
the area immediately.
Filling the Tank with a Portable Fuel
Container
If the vehicle runs out of fuel and must be
filled from a portable fuel container:
1. Locate the capless funnel adapter from
under the carpet in the trunk.
2. Insert and latch the funnel into the
capless fuel system.
