3. Pull open the fuel filler door (1) out to
fully open.
4. To remove the cap turn the fuel filler
cap (2) counterclockwise.
5. Refuel as needed.
WARNING
Before refueling, be sure to check what
type of fuel is used for your vehicle.
If you put diesel fuel into a gasoline-
powered vehicle or gasoline into a die
-
sel-powered vehicle, it may affect the
fuel system and cause serious damage
to the vehicle.
Closing the fuel filler door
1. To install the cap, turn it clockwise
until it “clicks” one time. This indicates
that the cap is securely tightened.
2. Close the fuel filler door and push it
lightly and make sure that it is
securely closed.
WARNING
Refueling
Always remove the fuel cap carefully
and slowly. If the cap is venting fuel or if
you hear a hissing sound, wait until the
condition stops before completely
removing the cap.
If pressurized fuel sprays out, it can
cover your clothes or skin and subject
you to the risk of fire and burns.
NOTICE
When refueling on unlevel ground, the
fuel gauge may not point to the F posi -
tion.
It is not a malfunction. If you move your
vehicle to level ground, the fuel gauge
will move to the full position.
NOTICE
Tighten the cap until it clicks one time,
otherwise the check engine warning
indicator light will illuminate.
Always check that the fuel cap is
installed securely to prevent fuel spillage
in the event of an accident.
WARNING
Fire/explosion risk
Read and follow all warnings posted at
the gas station facility. Failure to follow
all warnings will result in severe personal
injury, severe burns or death due to fire
or explosion.
WARNING
Static electricity
僅 Before touching the fuel nozzle, you
should eliminate potentially danger -
ous static electricity discharge by
touching another metal part of the
vehicle, a safe distance away from the
fuel filler neck, nozzle, or other gas
source.
僅 Do not get back into a vehicle once
you have begun refueling since you
can generate static electricity by
touching, rubbing or sliding against
any item or fabric (polyester, satin,
nylon, etc.) capable of producing
static electricity. Static electricity dis
-
charge can ignite fuel vapors resulting
in rapid burning. If you must reenter
the vehicle, you should once again
eliminate potentially dangerous static
electricity discharge by touching a
metal part of the vehicle, away from
the fuel filler neck, nozzle or other
gasoline source.
