Filling The Tank - Chevrolet Equinox Fuel Cell Owner's Manual

Filling the Tank

CAUTION:
{
Fuel, including hydrogen, 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 vehicle when you are refueling. Do not
smoke if you are near fuel or refueling your
vehicle. Do not use cellular phones. 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. Do not
re-enter the vehicle while pumping fuel. Keep
children away from the fuel pump; never let
children pump fuel.
There are three types of fueling procedures:
1. Non-Communication Fueling (5000 psi (35MPa)):
No additional actions needed for communication
reasons.
2. Hardwired Communication Fueling: You will need to
connect the dispenser pump side hardwired fueling
plug to the vehicle.
3. Infrared (IR) Communication Fueling: Infrared
communication establishes itself automatically.
No additional actions needed.
