Fuel Filler
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.
4. There is no fuel filler cap. Two flapper doors
inside the pipe seal the system.
5. Insert the fuel nozzle fully into the filler
pipe – the nozzle opens and holds the
flapper doors while refueling.
6. Fill the vehicle with fuel – when the fuel
nozzle “clicks” or shuts off the fuel tank is
full.
7. Maintain nozzle in filler for five seconds to
allow nozzle to drain.
8. Remove the fuel nozzle and close the fuel
door.
9. To close the fuel filler door, push the
center-rear edge (three o’clock position) of
the fuel filler door then release.
NOTE:
A funnel is provided (located in the trunk in the
spare tire area) to open the flapper doors to
allow for emergency refueling with a gas can.
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.
