When fueling your vehicle:
1. Put the vehicle in P (Park) and turn 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.
4. After you are done pumping
fuel, slowly remove the fuel filler
nozzle—allow about five to ten
seconds after pumping fuel before
removing the fuel filler nozzle.
This allows residual fuel to drain
back into the fuel tank and not
spill onto the vehicle.
Note: A fuel spillage concern may occur if overfilling the fuel tank.
Do not overfill the tank to the point that the fuel is able to bypass the
fuel filler nozzle. The overfilled fuel may run down the drain located
below and in front of the fuel filler door.
