System Warnings
If the fuel filler inlet does not close properly
or if you do not fully close the fuel filler
door, a service engine warning lamp
appears in the information display. At the
next opportunity, do the following:
1. Safely pull off the road.
2. When your vehicle has stopped, shift
into park (P) and switch the ignition
off.
3. Press the refueling button on the center
console.
4. Fully open the fuel tank filler door until
it engages and remove any visible
debris from the fuel filler inlet.
5. Insert a fuel filler nozzle or the fuel filler
funnel, provided with your vehicle,
several times to dislodge any debris
and allow the inlet to close properly.
6. Fully close the fuel filler door until it
clicks shut. This permits the fuel
system to function correctly.
If this action corrects the problem, the
message may not reset immediately. It
may take several driving cycles for the
message to turn off. A driving cycle
consists of an engine start-up (after four
or more hours with the engine off) followed
by city and highway driving. Continuing to
drive with the message on may cause the
service engine soon lamp to turn on as
well.
