MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE

ADDING FUEL

The gas cap is located behind the fuel filler door, on the passenger side of the vehicle.
If the gas cap is lost or damaged, be sure the replacement cap has been designed for
use with this vehicle.
NOTE:
When removing the fuel filler cap, lay the cap tether in the hook, located on the fuel
filler door reinforcement.
1. Push the fuel filler door release switch (located on the driver's side door trim).
2. Open the fuel filler door, and remove the fuel filler cap.
NOTE:
• In certain cold conditions, ice may
prevent the fuel door from opening. If
this occurs, lightly push on the fuel
door to break the ice buildup and re-
release the fuel door using the inside
release button. Do not pry on the door.
• When the fuel nozzle "clicks" or shuts
off, the fuel tank is full.
• Tighten the gas cap about one quarter
turn until you hear one click. This is an
indication that the cap is properly
tightened.
• If the gas cap is not tightened prop-
erly, the MIL will come on. Be sure the gas cap is tightened every time the vehicle
is refueled.
