ADDING FUEL
1. Press the fuel filler door release switch (located in the driver's door map pocket).
2. Open the fuel filler 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.
NOTE:
Only the correct size nozzle opens the latches allowing the flapper door to open.
5. Fill the vehicle with fuel – when the fuel nozzle "clicks" or shuts off the fuel tank is full.
6. Remove the fuel nozzle and close the fuel door.
NOTE:
A funnel is provided (located in the trunk in the spare tire area) to open the flapper
door to allow for emergency refueling with a gas can.
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not "top off" the fuel tank after filling.
• 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 state and
federal fire regulations and may cause the "Malfunction Indicator Light" to turn on.
• 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.
