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.
3. There is no fuel filler cap. Two flapper doors inside the pipe seal the system.
4. Insert the fuel nozzle fully into the filler pipe – the nozzle opens and holds the flapper doors
while refueling.
5. Fill the vehicle with fuel – when the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off the fuel tank is full.
6. Maintain nozzle in filler for five seconds to allow nozzle to drain.
7. Remove the fuel nozzle and close the fuel door.
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.EMERGENCY FUEL FILLER DOOR

fire regulations and may cause the Malfunc -
tion 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.
CAUTION!
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top
off” the fuel tank after filling.
