Refueling

1. Park with the driver's side closest

to the service station pump.

2. Open the fuel fill door by pulling

on the handle at the outside of the
driver's seat.

Gasoline is highly flammable
and explosive. You can be
burned or seriously injured
when handling fuel.

Stop the engine, and keep
heat, sparks, and flame
away.

Handle fuel only outdoors.

Wipe up spills immediately.

3. Remove the fuel fill cap slowly.

You may hear a hissing sound as
pressure inside the tank equalizes.
Place the cap in the holder on the
fuel fill door.

4. Stop filling the tank after the fuel

nozzle automatically clicks off. Do
not try to

‘‘top off’’ the tank. This

leaves some room in the fuel tank
for the fuel to expand with
temperature changes.

If the fuel nozzle keeps clicking off
even though the tank is not full,
there may be a problem with your
vehicle's fuel vapor recovery
system. The system helps keep
fuel vapor from going into the
atmosphere. Try filling at another
pump. If this does not fix the
problem, consult your dealer.
