FORD 2013 Fusion Hybrid v.1 - Manual (Page 162)

If the fuel fill inlet was not properly closed,
a Check Fuel Fill Inlet message may
appear on the instrument cluster.
At the next opportunity, do the following:
1. Safely pull off the road.
2. Put the vehicle in P (Park) and turn the
ignition off.
3. Open the fuel filler door and remove
any visible debris from the fuel fill
opening.
4. Insert either the fuel fill nozzle or the
fuel fill funnel provided with the vehicle
several times to dislodge any debris
and allow the inlet to close properly.
If this action corrects the problem, the
message may not reset immediately. It
may take several driving cycles for the
message to turn off. A driving cycle
consists of an engine start-up (after four
or more hours with the engine off) followed
by city or highway driving. Continuing to
drive with the message on may cause the
service engine soon lamp to turn on as
well.

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.
Note: Your vehicle features a locking fuel
door and an auto-sealing feature that locks
the fuel tank refueling valve. Before you can
refuel your vehicle you must first press the
button located on the center console.
Pressing this button will unlock the fuel tank
refueling valve allowing the fuel filler door
to open so that the fuel filler nozzle can be
inserted into the fuel inlet. This could take
up to fifteen seconds before the fuel filler
door pops open allowing the insertion of the
fuel filler nozzle.
When fueling your vehicle:
1. Put the vehicle in P (Park) and turn the
ignition off.
2. Press the fuel button located on the
center console.

3. Wait up to fifteen seconds before
opening the fuel filler door. During this
time a Please Wait to Refuel
message will appear in the information
display screen.
4. When the door is open a Ready to
Refuel message will appear in the
information display screen indicating
that the vehicle is ready to be filled. The
vehicle will remain ready to refuel for
approximately fifteen minutes. If more
than fifteen minutes is required, the
refueling button will need to be pressed
again. (You may experience the fuel
pump shutting off if the refuel button
is not pressed again).
