Adding Fuel - Chrysler 2017 PACIFICA User Manual

ADDING FUEL

There is no fuel filler cap. A flapper door inside the pipe seals the system.
• Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the vehicle when the gas cap is removed 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 MIL to turn on.
• A fire may result if gasoline is pumped into a portable container that is inside of a vehicle.
You could be burned. Always place gas containers on the ground while filling.
• 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.
• A poorly fitting fuel filler cap may cause the MIL to turn on.
• To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not "top off" the fuel tank after filling.
1. Put the vehicle in park and switch the ignition off.
2. Push the center-rear edge of the fuel filler door (3 o'clock position) and release to open.
3. Insert the fuel nozzle fully into the filler pipe,
the nozzle opens and holds the flapper door
while refueling.
4. When the fuel nozzle "clicks" or shuts off,
the fuel tank is full.
5. After you have stopped pumping fuel, re-
move the fuel filler nozzle.
6. To close the fuel filler door, push the center-
rear edge (3 o'clock position) of the fuel filler
door and then release. The fuel filler door will
latch closed.
NOTE:
• In certain cold conditions, ice may prevent
the fuel filler door from opening. If this
occurs, lightly push on the fuel filler door around the perimeter to break the ice build up.
WARNING!
CAUTION!
