REFUELING THE VEHICLE — GASOLINE
ENGINE (IF EQUIPPED)
FUEL FILLER CAP
The fuel filler cap is located on the left side of the vehicle.
To access the fuel filler cap, push on the fuel filler door to
unlatch it. To close the fuel filler door, push on it a second
time. If the fuel filler cap is lost or damaged, be sure the
replacement cap is the correct one for this vehicle.
1. Open the fuel filler door.

2. Remove the fuel cap by rotating it counterclockwise.

3. Fully insert the gasoline nozzle into the filler pipe.
Fill the vehicle with fuel.
4. When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the fuel
tank is full. Wait five seconds before removing the
fuel nozzle to allow excess fuel to drain from nozzle.
5. Remove gasoline nozzle, reinstall fuel cap and close
the fuel filler door.
NOTE:
When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the fuel tank
is full.
Tighten the fuel filler cap about a quarter turn until you
hear one click. This is an indication that the cap is prop-
erly tightened.
If the fuel filler cap is not tightened properly, the MIL
will come on. Be sure the cap is tightened every time
the vehicle is refueled.
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 (MIL)
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!
Damage to the fuel system or emission control
system could result from using an improper fuel filler
cap. A poorly fitting cap could let impurities into the
fuel system. Also, a poorly fitting aftermarket cap can
cause the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) to illumi-
nate, due to fuel vapors escaping from the system.
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top off”
the fuel tank after filling.
WARNING!
