The tethered fuel cap is behind a
hinged fuel door on the passenger
side of the vehicle. To open the fuel
filler door, lift the fuel door release
lever on the floor, left front side of
the driver seat. The fuel door is
unlocked when the vehicle is
unlocked. Locking the vehicle locks
the fuel door.
To remove the fuel cap, turn it
slowly counterclockwise.
Be careful not to spill fuel. Do not
top off or overfill the tank and wait a
few seconds after you have finished
pumping before removing the
nozzle. Clean fuel from painted
surfaces as soon as possible. See
Exterior Care on page 10 68.
When replacing the fuel cap, turn it
clockwise until it clicks. Make sure
the cap is fully installed. The
diagnostic system can determine if
the fuel cap has been left off or
improperly installed. This would
allow fuel to evaporate into the
atmosphere. See Malfunction
Indicator Lamp on page 5 11.

Driving and Operating
Push the fuel door closed until it
latches.
WARNING
If a fire starts while you are
refueling, do not remove the
nozzle. Shut off the flow of fuel by
shutting off the pump or by
notifying the station attendant.
Leave the area immediately.
Notice: If a new fuel cap is
needed, be sure to get the right
type of cap from your dealer. The
wrong type of fuel cap might not
fit properly, might cause the
malfunction indicator lamp to
light, and could damage the fuel
tank and emissions system. See
Malfunction Indicator Lamp on
page 5 11.
