Fuel Filler Door
- Open the fuel filler door.
Fuel Filler
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.
-
There is no fuel filler cap. Two flapper doors inside the pipe seal the system.
-
Insert the fuel nozzle fully into the filler pipe – the nozzle opens and holds the flapper doors while refueling.
-
Fill the vehicle with fuel – when the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off the fuel tank is full.
-
Wait five seconds before removing the fuel nozzle to allow excess fuel to drain from nozzle.
-
Remove the fuel nozzle and close the fuel door.
-
To close the fuel filler door, push the center-rear edge (three o’clock position) of the fuel filler door then release.
Note:
A funnel is provided (located in the trunk in the spare tire area) to open the flapper doors to allow for emergency refueling with a gas can.
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.
