NOTICE
We recommend quality gasoline containing detergent additives that help
prevent fuel system and engine deposits. In addition, in order to maintain
good performance, fuel economy, and emissions control, we strongly
recommend the use of gasoline that does NOT contain harmful manganese-
based fuel additives such as MMT, if such gasoline is available.
How to Refuel
n
Your fuel tank features a capless design. You can insert the filler nozzle
directly into the filler pipe. The tank seals itself when you pull out the filler
nozzle.
1. The fuel fill door is located at the
left rear of the vehicle. Park next
to the service pump that is most
accessible.
2. Turn off the engine.
3. Press the area indicated by the
arrow in the image to open the
fuel fill door. The vehicle must be
unlocked for the fuel fill door to
open.
4. Insert the filler nozzle fully. When
the tank is full, the nozzle clicks
off automatically. Wait about 5
seconds before removing the filler
nozzle.
5. Close the fuel fill door.
WARNING
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You can be burned or
seriously injured when handling fuel.
• Stop the engine, and keep heat, sparks, and flame away.
• Handle fuel only outdoors.
• Wipe up spills immediately.

Refueling from a Portable Fuel Container
If you need to refuel your vehicle from a portable fuel container, use the
funnel provided with your vehicle.

2. Press on the edge of the fuel fill
door to open it. The vehicle must

3. Behind the 3rd-row seat, open the
small door in the right-side storage
pocket. Remove the funnel.
4. Place the end of the funnel on the
lower part of filler opening, then
insert it slowly and fully. Make
sure that the end of the funnel
goes down along with the filler
pipe.
5. Fill the tank with fuel from the
portable fuel container. Pour fuel
carefully so you do not spill any.
6. Remove the funnel from the filler neck. Wipe up any fuel from the funnel
before storing it.
7. Close the fuel fill door.
NOTICE
Do not insert the nozzle of a portable fuel container or any funnel other than
the one provided with your vehicle. Doing so can damage the fuel system.
