2022 Jeep Wagoneer Owners Manual - Refueling the vehicle

Refueling the vehicle

1. Ensure that the vehicle doors are unlocked as this unlocks the fuel door.

2. Open the fuel filler door by pushing on the outer edge of the fuel door near the center to unlatch. Then use a finger to rotate the door to the full open position.

   Fuel Filler Door

   Note:

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

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

   • Fuel door will lock when the vehicle is locked.

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

   Note:

   Only the correct size nozzle opens the latches allowing the flapper doors to open.

   

   Fuel Filler

4. Fill the vehicle with fuel – when the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off the fuel tank is full.

5. Wait five seconds before removing the fuel nozzle to allow fuel to drain from nozzle.

6. Remove the fuel nozzle and close the fuel door. Engage the fuel door latch by pushing on the outer edge near the center.

Note:

For further information on fuel requirements see FUEL REQUIREMENTS.

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.

EMERGENCY FUEL FILLER DOOR RELEASE

If you are unable to open the fuel filler door, use the fuel filler door emergency release.

1. Gently pry up on the rear edge of the fuel door to allow finger access.
