Use the following guidelines to avoid
electrostatic charge build-up when filling
an ungrounded fuel container:
• Place an approved fuel container on
the ground.
• Do not fill a fuel container while it is in
the vehicle (including the cargo area).
• Keep the fuel pump nozzle in contact
with the fuel container while filling.
• Do not use a device that would hold
the fuel pump handle in the fill position.

WARNING
The fuel system may be under
pressure. If you hear a hissing sound
near the fuel filler door, do not refuel
until the sound stops. Otherwise, fuel may
spray out, which could cause serious
personal injury.
When fueling your vehicle:
1. Put the vehicle in park (P) and switch
the ignition off.
2. Open the fuel filler door.

3. Slowly insert the fuel filler nozzle fully
into the fuel system, and leave the
nozzle fully inserted until pumping is
complete. Hold the handle higher
during insertion for easier access.
E154765
4. Once pumping is complete, slowly
remove the fuel filler nozzle. Allow
approximately five to ten seconds after
pumping fuel before removing the fuel
filler nozzle. This allows residual fuel
to drain back into the fuel tank and not
spill onto the vehicle.
Note: A fuel spill concern may occur if the
fuel tank overfills. Do not overfill the tank
to the point that the fuel is able to bypass
the fuel filler nozzle. The overfilled fuel may
run down the drain located below and in
front of the fuel filler door.
If the fuel fill inlet was not properly closed,
a service engine warning lamp may appear
on the instrument cluster.
At the next opportunity, do the following:
1. Safely pull off the road.
2. Put the vehicle in park (P) and switch
the ignition off.
3. Open the fuel filler door and remove
any visible debris from the fuel fill
opening.
4. Insert the fuel fill nozzle or the fuel fill
funnel provided with the vehicle several
times to dislodge any debris and allow
the inlet to close properly.
