4. Insert the fuel nozzle fully into the filler pipe – the

nozzle opens and holds the flapper door while refuel-

ing.

NOTE: Only the correct size nozzle opens the latches

allowing the flapper door to open.

5. Fill the vehicle with fuel – when the fuel nozzle

“clicks” or shuts off the fuel tank is full.

6. Remove the fuel nozzle and close the fuel door.

NOTE: A funnel is provided (located in the trunk in the

spare tire area) to open the flapper door to allow for

emergency refueling with a gas can.

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 regula-

tions and may cause the “Malfunction Indicator

Light” to turn on.

• A fire may result if gasoline is pumped into a

portable container that is inside of a vehicle. You

could be burned. Always place gas containers on

the ground while filling.
