REFUELING THE VEHICLE
The gas cap is located behind the fuel filler door, on the
passenger side of the vehicle. If the gas cap is lost or
damaged, be sure the replacement cap has been designed
for use with this vehicle.
NOTE:When removing the fuel filler cap, lay the cap
tether in the hook, located on the fuel filler door reinforce-
ment.
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.

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.
