■ How to Refuel
- Stop your vehicle with the service station pump on the left side of the vehicle in the rear.
- Turn off the engine.
- Push on the fuel fill door release handle at the foot of the driver’s seat.
The fuel fill door opens.
- Remove the fuel fill cap slowly. If you hear a release of air, wait until this stops, then turn the knob slowly to open the fuel fill cap.
- Place the fuel fill cap in the holder.
- Insert the fuel filler nozzle fully.
When the tank is full, the filler nozzle will click off automatically. This leaves space in the fuel tank in case the fuel expands with a change in the temperature.
- After filling, replace the fuel fill cap, tightening it until you hear it click at least once.
Shut the fuel fill door by hand.
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You can be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel.
- Stop the engine, and keep heat, sparks, and flame away.
- Handle fuel only outdoors.
- Wipe up spills immediately.
