ADDING FUEL
1. Press the fuel filler door release
switch (located in the driver's door
map pocket).
2. Open the fuel filler door.
3. There is no fuel filler cap. A flap-
per door inside the pipe seals the sys-
tem.4. Insert the fuel nozzle fully into the
filler pipe – the nozzle opens and
holds the flapper door while refueling.
NOTE: Only the correct size
nozzle opens the latches allowing
the flapper door to open.
5. Fill the vehicle with fuel – when
the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off the
fuel tank is full.
6. Remove the fuel nozzle and close
the fuel door.
NOTE: A funnel is provided (lo-
cated in the trunk in the spare tire
area) to open the flapper door to
allow for emergency refueling with
a gas can.
CAUTION!
To avoid fuel spillage and overfill-
ing, do not “top off” the fuel tank
after filling.WARNING!
 Never have any smoking materi-
als 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 regula-
tions and may cause the “Mal-
function Indicator Light” to turn
on.
 A fire may result if gasoline is
pumped into a portable container
that is inside of a vehicle. You
could be burned. Always place
gas containers on the ground
while filling.
