WARNING!
Never have any smoking materials lit in

or near the vehicle when the fuel door is
open or the tank is being filled.
Never add fuel when the engine is

running. This is in violation of most
countries regulations and may cause the
"Malfunction Indicator Light" to turn on.
Do not apply any object/cap to the end of

the filler which is not provided for the
car. The use of non-compliant objects/
plugs could cause a pressure increase
inside the tank, resulting in dangerous
situations.
A fire may result if fuel is pumped into a

portable container that is inside of a
vehicle. You could be burned. Always
place fuel containers on the ground
while filling.

The Capless Fuel System uses a flapper
placed at the filler pipe of the fuel tank; it
opens and closes automatically upon inser-
tion/extraction of the fuel nozzle. The
Capless Fuel System is designed so that it
prevents the filling of an incorrect type of
fuel.
1. Unlock the fuel filler door by pushing the
unlock button on the key fob or the
unlock button on the driver-side door
trim panel.
2. Open the fuel filler door by pushing on
the rear edge of the Fuel Door.
3. There is no fuel filler cap. A flapper door
inside the pipe seals the system.
4. Insert the fuel nozzle fully into the filler
pipe; the nozzle opens and holds the
flapper door while refueling.
