Filling Your Tank - Cadillac 2005 CTS Owner's Manual

Filling Your Tank

{
CAUTION:
Fuel vapor burns violently and a fuel fire
can cause bad injuries. To help avoid injuries
to you and others, read and follow all the
instructions on the pump island. Turn off
your engine when you are refueling. Do not
smoke if you are near fuel or refueling your
vehicle. Keep sparks, flames and smoking
materials away from fuel. Do not leave the
fuel pump unattended when refueling your
vehicle — this is against the law in some
places. Keep children away from the fuel
pump; never let children pump fuel.

To remove the fuel cap, turn it slowly to the left
(counterclockwise). The fuel cap has a spring in it; if the
cap is released too soon, it will spring back to the right.
While refueling, hang the tethered fuel cap from the
hook on the fuel door.
The tethered fuel cap
is located behind a
hinged fuel door on the
passenger's side of
the vehicle. To open the
fuel door, push inward
on the forward edge of
the fuel door until the
rear edge can be pulled
outward.
