3. Slowly insert the fuel filler nozzle fully into
the fuel system, and leave the nozzle fully
inserted to open both doors until you are
done pumping. Hold handle higher
during insertion for easier access.

4. After you are done pumping fuel, slowly
remove the fuel filler nozzle—allow about
5 to 10 seconds after pumping fuel before
removing the fuel filler nozzle. This allows
residual fuel to drain back into the fuel
tank and not spill onto the vehicle.
Note: A fuel spillage concern may occur if
overfilling the fuel tank. Do not overfill the
tank. The fill pipe is equiped with a drain
hole. Excess fuel due to overfill may drain
through the drain hole and drip onto the
ground."
If the fuel fill inlet was not properly closed, a
Check Fuel Fill Inlet message may appear
on the instrument cluster.
At the next opportunity, do the following:
1. Safely pull off the road.
2. Put the vehicle in P (Park) and turn the
ignition off.
3. Open the fuel filler door and remove any
visible debris from the fuel fill opening.
4. Insert either the fuel fill nozzle or the fuel
fill funnel provided with the vehicle
several times to allow the inlet to close
properly. This will dislodge any debris
preventing the inlet from sealing.
If this action corrects the problem, the
message may not reset immediately. It may
take several driving cycles for the message
to turn off. A driving cycle consists of an
engine start-up (after 4 or more hours with
the engine off) followed by city or highway
driving. Continuing to drive with the message
on may cause the service engine soon lamp
to turn on as well.
FUEL CONSUMPTION
Note: The amount of usable fuel in the empty
reserve varies and should not be relied upon
to increase driving range. When refueling
your vehicle after the fuel gauge indicates
empty, you might not be able to refuel the
full amount of the advertised capacity of the
fuel tank due to the empty reserve still
present in the tank.
