NOTE:
When removing the fuel filler cap, lay the cap
tether in the hook, located on the fuel filler
door reinforcement.
1. Push the fuel filler door release switch
(located on the driver’s side door trim).
2. Open the fuel filler door, and remove the
fuel filler cap.
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.
• When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off,
the fuel tank is full.
• Tighten the gas cap about one quarter turn
until you hear one click. This is an indica-
tion that the cap is properly tightened.
• If the gas cap is not tightened properly, the
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) will
come on. Be sure the gas 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 run-
ning. 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.
