3. Slowly insert the fuel filler nozzle fully
into the fuel system, and leave the
nozzle fully inserted until pumping is
complete. Hold the handle higher
during insertion for easier access. 4. Once pumping is complete, slowly
remove the fuel filler nozzle. Allow
approximately five to ten 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.
5. Fully close the fuel filler door until it clicks shut. This permits the fuel
system to function correctly.
Note: Do not overfill the fuel tank to the
point that the fuel is able to bypass the fuel
filler nozzle. The overfilled fuel may run
down the drain hole which is below the fuel
filler inlet. System Warnings
If the fuel filler inlet does not close properly
or if you do not fully close the fuel filler
door, a service engine warning lamp
appears in the information display. At the
next opportunity, do the following:
1. Safely pull off the road.
2. Put the vehicle in park (P) and switch
the ignition off.
3. Fully open the fuel tank filler door until
it engages and remove any visible
debris from the fuel filler inlet.
4. Insert a fuel filler nozzle or the fuel filler
funnel, provided with your vehicle,
several times to dislodge any debris
and allow the inlet to close properly.
5. Fully close the fuel filler door until it clicks shut. This permits the fuel
system to function correctly.
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 four
or more hours with the engine off) followed
by city and highway driving. Continuing to
drive with the message on may cause the
service engine soon lamp to turn on as
well.
