WARNINGS

Stay outside your vehicle and do not
leave the fuel pump unattended
when refueling your vehicle. This is

against the law in some places.

Keep children away from the fuel
pump; never let children pump fuel.

Do not use personal electronic
devices while refueling.

Wait at least 10 seconds before
removing the fuel pump nozzle to
allow any residual fuel to drain into

the fuel tank.

Stop refueling after the fuel pump
nozzle automatically shuts off for the
second time. Failure to follow this

will fill the expansion space in the fuel tank
and could lead to fuel overflowing.

Do not remove the fuel pump nozzle
from its fully inserted position when
refueling.

Use the following guidelines to avoid
electrostatic charge build-up when filling
an ungrounded fuel container:

Place approved fuel container on the
ground.

Do not fill a fuel container while it is in
the vehicle (including the cargo area).

Keep the fuel pump nozzle in contact
with the fuel container while filling.

Do not use a device that would hold
the fuel pump handle in the fill position.

Easy Fuel™ Capless Fuel System

WARNING

The fuel system may be under
pressure. If you hear a hissing sound
near the fuel filler door, do not refuel

until the sound stops. Otherwise, fuel may
spray out, which could cause serious
personal injury.

When fueling your vehicle:

1.

Put your vehicle in park (P) and switch
the ignition off.

2. Open the fuel filler door.

3. Slowly insert the fuel filler nozzle fully

into the fuel system, and leave the
nozzle fully inserted to open both doors
until you are done pumping. Hold
handle higher during insertion for easier
access.

E154765

4. Wait at least 10 seconds before

removing the fuel pump nozzle to allow
any residual fuel to drain into the fuel
tank.

Note: A fuel spillage concern may occur if
overfilling the fuel tank. Do not overfill the
tank. The fill pipe is equipped with a drain
hole. Excess fuel due to overfill may drain
through the drain hole and drip onto the
ground.
