Adding fuel

Fuel Filler Door
NOTE: 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.
- There is no fuel filler cap. A flapper door inside the
pipe seals the system.
- 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.
- Fill the vehicle with fuel - when the fuel nozzle
"clicks" or shuts off the fuel tank is full.
- Wait 5 seconds before removing the fuel nozzle to
allow fuel to drain from nozzle.
- Remove the fuel nozzle and close the fuel door.
Emergency Gas Can Refueling
- Most gas cans will not open the flapper door.
- A funnel is provided to open the flapper door to allow
emergency refueling with a gas can.
- Retrieve funnel from the spare tire storage area.
- Insert funnel into same filler pipe opening as the fuel
nozzle.
- Ensure funnel is inserted fully to hold flapper door
open.
- Pour fuel into funnel opening.
- Remove funnel from filler pipe, clean off prior to
putting back in the spare tire storage area.
CAUTION!
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not "top
off" the fuel tank after filling. |
WARNING!
- Never have any smoking materials 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 regulations
and may cause the "Malfunction 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.
