NOTE:
●
When the fuel nozzle "clicks" or shuts off,
the fuel tank is full.
●
Wait five seconds before removing the
fuel nozzle to allow excess fuel to drain
from the nozzle.
5.
Remove the fuel nozzle, reinstall fuel cap
and close fuel filler door.
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
Malfunction 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!
●
Damage to the fuel system or emission
control system could result from using an
improper fuel filler cap. A poorly fitting cap
could let impurities into the fuel system.
Also, a poorly fitting aftermarket cap can
cause the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
to illuminate, due to fuel vapors escaping
from the system.
●
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not
"top off" the fuel tank after filling.
NOTE:
●
When the fuel nozzle "clicks" or shuts off, the
fuel tank is full.
●
Tighten the fuel filler cap about a quarter turn
until you hear one click. This is an indication
that the cap is properly tightened.
●
If the fuel filler cap is not tightened properly,
the MIL will come on. Be sure the cap is
tightened every time the vehicle is refueled.
REFUELING THE VEHICLE

Fuel Filler Door Release Switch
3.
When the vehicle is ready to refuel a
message will be displayed and the fuel door
will pop away from the vehicle when it
has been released. To finish opening the
fuel door, manually rotate it away from the
vehicle.
NOTE:
●
If the service station fuel pump repeatedly
clicks off (stops delivering fuel) before the
fuel tank has been filled, push the fuel
door release button again.
●
If pushing the fuel door release button
a second time does not correct the
problem, try using a different fuel pump.
If premature fuel pump shutoff continues
to be a problem, take the vehicle to an
authorized dealer for service.
