Refueling
The fuel tank is equipped with a fuel filling sys-
tem without a cover.
Refueling the vehicle at a service
station
Refueling is done as follows.
1. Turn off the engine and open the fuel filler
door.
2. Select a fuel approved for use in the vehicle.
For more information on approved fuels, see
the section on “Fuel”.
3. Insert the pump's nozzle into the fuel filler
pipe's opening. There are two flaps just
inside the fuel filler pipe and the pump's noz-
zle must push both of these flaps open
before fuel can be added.
4. Avoid overfilling the tank. Do not press the
handle on the filler nozzle again after it has
initially stopped pumping.
> The fuel tank is now filled.
NOTE
An over-full tank may overflow in hot weather.
CAUTION
Avoid spilling gasoline during refueling. In
addition to causing damage to the environ-
ment, gasolines containing alcohol can cause
damage to painted surfaces, which may not
be covered under the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
Refueling from a fuel container
When filling from a fuel container, use the funnel
provided in a foam block under the floor hatch in
the cargo compartment.
1. Open the fuel filler door.
2. Insert the funnel into the fuel filler pipe's
opening. There are two flaps just inside the
fuel filler pipe and the tube section of the
funnel must push both of these flaps open
before fuel can be added.
