All-wheel drive vehicles: 15.8 gal (60 L) Front-wheel drive vehi
cles: 16.6 gal (63 L)
1. Before filling with fuel, stop the engine. 2. The fuel tank filler is located on the rear driver side of your vehicle. The fuel tank filler door can be openedfrom inside the vehicle with the fuel tank filler door release lever located at the left side of the driver’s seat. 3. Open the fuel tank filler pipe by slowly turning the fuel tank filler cap counter- clockwise.
 Before removing the fuel tank filler cap, be sure to get rid of your body’s staticelectricity by touching a metal part of thecar or fuel pump. Any
static electricity on
your body could create a spark that ignites fuel vapor. Perform the whole
refueling process
(opening the fuel tank filler door, remov-ing the fuel cap, etc.) by yourself; do not let any other
person near the fuel tank
filler. If you allowed
a person to help you
and that person was ca
rrying static elec-
tricity, fuel vapor could be ignited. Do not move away from
the fuel tank filler
until refueling is fi
nished. If you moved
away and did somethin
g else (for example,
sitting on a seat) part-way through the refueling process, you could pick up a fresh charge of st
atic electricity.
Be careful not to inhale fuel vapor. Fuel contains toxic substances. Keep the doors and wi
ndows closed while
refueling the vehicle. If they were open,fuel vapor could ge
t into the cabin.

Refueling
1- Remove 2- CloseWA R N I N G Since the fuel system may be under pres- sure, remove the fuel tank filler capslowly. This relieves
any pressure or vac-
uum that might have built up in the fuel tank. If the cap is venting vapor or if youhear a hissing sound, wait until the sound stops before removing the cap. Otherwise, fuel may spray out, in
juring you or others.
NOTE
While filling with fuel
, hang the fuel cap on
the hook (A) located on the inside surface ofthe fuel tank filler door.
