2023 Chrysler Pacifica Owners Manual - Refueling the Vehicle

Refueling the Vehicle

There is no fuel filler cap. Two flapper doors inside the pipe seal the system.

WARNING:

• 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.

CAUTION:

To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top off” the fuel tank after filling.

1. Put the vehicle in PARK and switch the ignition OFF.

2. Push the center-rear edge of the fuel filler door (3 o'clock position) and release to open.

3. Insert the fuel nozzle fully into the filler pipe; the nozzle opens and holds both flapper doors while refueling.

4. When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the fuel tank is full.

5. Keep the nozzle in the filler for five seconds after the nozzle clicks to allow fuel to drain from the nozzle.

6. Remove the fuel filler nozzle.

7. To close the fuel filler door, push the center-rear edge (3 o’clock position) of the fuel filler door and then release. The fuel filler door will latch closed.

Note:

In certain cold conditions, ice may prevent the fuel filler door from opening. If this occurs, lightly push on the fuel filler door around the perimeter to break the ice buildup.
