Filling The Tank - Cadillac 2015 SRX Owner's Manual

9-56 Driving and Operating

Filling the Tank

Warning
Fuel vapours and fuel fires burn
violently and can cause injury or
death.
To help avoid injuries to you
and others, read and follow
all the instructions on the fuel
pump island.
Turn off the engine when
refuelling.
Keep sparks, flames, and
smoking materials away
from fuel.
Do not leave the fuel pump
unattended.
Do not reenter the vehicle
while pumping fuel.
Keep children away from the
fuel pump and never let
children pump fuel.
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.
(Continued)
The fuel cap is behind a hinged fuel
door on the passenger side of the
vehicle. To open the fuel filler flap,
push and release the rearward
centre edge of the flap. If equipped,
the fuel door is locked when the
vehicle doors are locked. Press
on the RKE transmitter to unlock.
To remove the fuel cap, turn it
slowly anticlockwise.
While refuelling, hang the tethered
fuel cap from the hook on the
fuel door.
When reinstalling the cap, turn it
clockwise until it clicks, otherwise
the malfunction indicator lamp may
turn on. See Malfunction Indicator
Lamp on page 5-15.
Be careful not to spill fuel. Do not
top off or overfill the tank and 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 on page 10-80.
