ADDING FUEL/SMART FUEL
NOTE:
• The "Smart Fuel" is a device placed on the top of the filler pipe; it opens and closes
automatically when the fuel nozzle is inserted or extracted.
• Only the correct nozzle size diameter allows the flap door to open when the nozzle is inserted.
Refueling Procedure
1. Open the fuel filler door pulling towards outside.
2. There is no fuel filler cap. A flap door inside the pipe seals the system.
3. Insert the fuel nozzle into the filler pipe (the nozzle opens and holds the flap door while
refueling) and start refueling. When the fuel nozzle "clicks" or shuts off, the fuel tank is full.
4. At the end of refueling, before removing the nozzle, wait at least 10 seconds to allow the fuel
to flow within the tank.
5. Remove the fuel nozzle from the filler pipe and then close the fuel door.
Emergency Gas Can Refueling:
Most gas cans will not open the flapper door.
A funnel is provided to open the flapper door to allow emergency refueling with a gas can.
1. Retrieve the appropriate funnel from the storage area in the luggage compartment.
2. Insert funnel into same filler pipe opening as the fuel nozzle.
3. Ensure funnel is inserted fully to hold flapper door open.
4. Pour fuel into funnel opening.
5. Remove funnel from filler pipe, clean off prior to putting back in the storage area.
