fill door opens.

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. 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.
