REFUELING
WARNING: Fuel vapor burns violently and a fuel fire can cause
severe injuries. To help avoid injuries to you and others:
•
Read and follow all the instructions on the pump island;
•
Turn off your engine when you are refueling;
•
Do not smoke if you are near fuel or refueling your vehicle;
•
Keep sparks, flames and smoking materials away from fuel;
•
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.
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

“No Cap” 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. Turn the engine off.
2. Open the fuel door by pulling the indent on the door.
3. Insert the fuel plug key (if equipped) into the locking plug and turn it
counterclockwise to unlock it.
4. Slowly insert the fuel filler nozzle fully into the fuel system, and leave
the nozzle fully inserted until you are done pumping.
