The fuel door release
button is located on the left
side of the instrument
panel. The button
only works when the
vehicle is in PARK (P) or
NEUTRAL (N) and the
valet lockout button
is in OFF.

An alternate fuel door
release is located inside
the trunk behind a panel on
the driver’s side of the
vehicle. Pull the handle to
release the fuel door.

To remove the fuel cap, turn it slowly counterclockwise.
The fuel cap has a spring in it; if the cap is released
too soon, it will spring back to the right.

While refueling, hang the tethered fuel cap from the
hook on the fuel door.

CAUTION:

If you spill fuel and then something ignites it,
you could be badly burned. Fuel can spray out
on you if you open the fuel cap too quickly.
This spray can happen if your tank is nearly
full, and is more likely in hot weather. Open
the fuel cap slowly and wait for any hiss noise
to stop. Then unscrew the cap all the way.
