Refilling with a Portable Fuel Container

WARNING:

Do not insert the nozzle of portable fuel containers

or aftermarket funnels into the capless fuel system. This could

damage the fuel system and its seal, and may cause fuel to run onto the
ground instead of filling the tank, which could result in serious personal
injury.

WARNING:

Do not try to pry open or push open the capless fuel

system with foreign objects. This could damage the fuel system

and its seal and cause injury to you or others.

Note:

Do not use aftermarket funnels; they will not work with the

capless fuel system and can damage it. The included funnel has been
specially designed to work safely with your vehicle.

When filling the vehicle’s fuel tank from a portable fuel container, use the
funnel included with the vehicle.

1. Locate the white plastic funnel in the spare tire
compartment.

2. Slowly insert the funnel into the capless fuel
system.

3. Fill the vehicle with fuel from the portable fuel
container.

4. When done, clean the funnel or properly dispose of it. Extra funnels
can be purchased from your authorized dealer if you choose to dispose
of the funnel.
