DRIVING
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.
The fuel filler opening is designed to accept only service station filler
nozzles for refueling. Use of smaller diameter tubes (e.g., to siphon fuel for
other uses) or other non-service station devices can damage the area in
and around the filler opening.
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.
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Press the fuel fill door release button. The fuel fill door opens.
3. Open the in-bed trunk and pull out the tire tray.
4. Remove the funnel from the tool
box.
5. Place the end of the funnel on the
lower part of the filler opening, then
insert it slowly and fully. Make sure
that the end of the funnel goes
down along with the filler pipe.

6. Fill the tank with fuel from the
portable fuel container. Pour fuel
carefully so you do not spill any.
7. Remove the funnel from the filler
neck. Wipe up any fuel from the
funnel before storing it.
8. Shut the fuel fill door by hand.
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.
Do not try to pry open or push open the sealed fuel tank with foreign
objects. This can damage the fuel system and its seal.
