You may hear a hissing sound as
pressure inside the tank escapes.
Place the cap in the holder on the
fuel fill door.

nozzle automatically clicks off. Do
not try to ''top off'' the tank. Leave
some room for the fuel to expand

If the fuel nozzle keeps clicking off

fuel vapor from going into the
atmosphere. Try filling at another
pump. If this does not fix the
problem, consult your dealer.
