the nozzle opens and holds the flapper door
while refueling.
3. Fill the vehicle with fuel – when the fuel nozzle
“
clicks” or shuts off the fuel tank is full.
4. Remove the fuel nozzle and close the fuel
door.
NOTE:
In the event that you run the vehicle out of fuel,

for 30 seconds, then turn the ignition OFF and wait
30 seconds. Repeat this procedure three times,
prior to cranking the engine.
