Refueling

Fuel filler door

Always switch off the engine
before refueling, as it is not possi-

ble to add fuel with the engine running,
and attempts may also trigger the
SERVICE ENGINE SOON lamp.

<

Press on the rear edge of the fuel filler
door to open and close it.

If an electrical malfunction occurs, you
can unlock the fuel filler door manually:

1. Release the side trim on the right-

hand sidewall of the cargo area

2. Pull the knob with the fuel pump

symbol.

Always observe all safety precau-
tions posted at the service station

when handling fuel. Never carry spare
fuel containers in your vehicle. Whether
empty or full, these containers can leak,
cause an explosion, or lead to fire in the
event of a collision.

<

Simple and environmentally
friendly

Open the gas cap carefully to pre-
vent fuel from spraying out. Fuel

spray may cause injury.

<

Keep the gas cap in the bracket
attached to the fuel filler door.

When refueling, insert the filler nozzle
completely into the filler pipe. Lifting the
nozzle during refueling
> results in premature pump shutoff

> and will reduce the effectiveness of

the vapor recovery system on the
pump.

The fuel tank is full when the filler noz-
zle shuts off the first time.
