• The fuel door could take up to 15 seconds to
open. It may take longer to open in some
situations, such as high ambient tempera-
tures.
• If you hear a hissing sound when the nozzle is
inserted into the filler pipe, wait to begin fuel-
ing the vehicle until after the hissing sound
stops.
4. The fuel door pops away from the vehicle when
it has been released. To finish opening the fuel
door, manually rotate it away from the vehicle.
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
and re-release the fuel door using the inside
release button. Do not pry on the door.
5. There is no fuel filler cap. Two flapper doors
inside the pipe seal the system.
6. Insert the fuel nozzle fully into the filler pipe, the
nozzle opens and holds both flapper doors while
refueling.
7. Fill the vehicle with fuel, when the fuel nozzle
“clicks” or shuts off the fuel tank is full.
8. Wait five seconds before removing the fuel
nozzle to allow fuel to drain from nozzle.
9. Remove the fuel nozzle and close the fuel door.
Emergency Gas Can Refueling
Most gas cans will not open the flapper door. A
funnel is provided to open the flapper door to allow
emergency refueling with a gas can.
1. Retrieve funnel from the storage bin located in
the left rear quarter trim.
2. Insert funnel into same filler pipe opening as the
fuel nozzle, ensure funnel is inserted fully to hold
both flapper doors open.
3. Pour fuel into funnel opening.
4. Remove funnel from filler pipe, clean off prior to
putting back in the spare tire storage area.
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 “Malfunc-
tion 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 con-
tainers on the ground while filling.
CAUTION!
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top
off” the fuel tank after filling.
