fuel fill door release PONTIAC BONNEVILLE 2003 Owners Manual

If your vehicle has the optional Driver Information
Center (DIC), the CHECK
GAS CAP message will be
displayed
if the fuel cap is not properly reinstalled.
Notice: If you need a new fuel cap, be sure to get
the right type. Your dealer can get one for you.
If you get the wrong type,
it may not fit properly.
This may cause your malfunction indicator lamp to
light and may damage your fuel tank and emissions
system. See “Malfunction Indicator Lamp” in
the Index.
Fuel Door Lock
On models having the optional theft-deterrent system,
the fuel door is locked and unlocked together with
the driver’s power door lock.
To unlock the fuel filler
door, use the power door lock button or the remote
keyless entry transmitter (if equipped). If your
vehicle has a fuel door lock, the fuel door can be
opened manually
in case of an electrical power
failure.
The release mechanism is on the driver’s side of the
vehicle, at the top of
the trunk compartment.
Pull the tab to release the
fuel door.
Notice: Prying on a locked fuel filler door can
damage
it. Use the remote fuel door manual release
located in the trunk in the case of a power failure.
