 Refueling the Vehicle

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

1. Open the fuel filler door by pushing on the outer edge of the fuel door.

2. Insert the fuel nozzle fully into the filler pipe; the nozzle opens and holds the flapper door while refueling.

3. Fill the vehicle with fuel, and when the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the fuel tank is full.

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

5. Remove the fuel nozzle and close the fuel door.

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.
