282 STARTING AND OPERATING
REFUELING THE VEHICLE
There is no fuel filler cap. Two flapper doors
inside the pipe seal the system.
1. Put the vehicle in park and switch the igni-
tion off.
2. Push the center-rear edge of the fuel filler
door (3 o'clock position) and release to
open.

3. Insert the fuel nozzle fully into the filler pipe,
the nozzle opens and holds both flapper
doors while refueling.
4. When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off,
the fuel tank is full.
5. Keep the nozzle in the filler for five seconds
after nozzle clicks to allow fuel to drain from
the nozzle.
6. Remove the fuel filler nozzle.
7. To close the fuel filler door, push the
center-rear edge (3 o’clock position) of the
fuel filler door and then release. The fuel
filler door will latch closed.
NOTE:
In certain cold conditions, ice may prevent
the fuel filler door from opening. If this
occurs, lightly push on the fuel filler door
around the perimeter to break the
ice build up.
Take care to open both flappers with the
funnel to avoid spills.
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.
