FUEL FILLER LID

Opening the fuel filler lid

The fuel filler lid must be opened from
inside the vehicle by pulling up the fuel
filler lid opener.
If the fuel filler lid does not open because
ice has formed around it, tap lightly or
push on the lid to break the ice and
release the lid. Do not pry on the lid. If
necessary, spray around the lid with an
approved de-icer fluid (do not use radia-
tor anti-freeze) or move the vehicle to a
warm place and allow the ice to melt.
