The fuel cap is located on the driver’s side of
the vehicle.

Some vehicles might have a fuel door. Open the
door to access the fuel cap.

Some vehicles might have a locking fuel cap.
Use the fuel cap key to unlock the fuel cap.
If you ever need a replacement key, your dealer
can help you get one.

To remove the fuel cap, turn it slowly
counterclockwise. While refueling, let the
fuel cap hang by the tether, if it has one.

CAUTION:

If you spill fuel and then something
ignites it, you could be badly burned.
Fuel can spray out on you if you open
the fuel cap too quickly. This spray can
happen if your tank is nearly full, and is
more likely in hot weather. Open the fuel
cap slowly and wait for any hiss noise to
stop. Then unscrew the cap all the way.

Be careful not to spill fuel. Do not top off or overfill
the tank and wait a few seconds after you have
finished pumping before removing the nozzle.
Clean fuel from painted surfaces as soon as
possible. See Washing Your Vehicle on page 410.

When replacing the fuel cap, turn it clockwise until
it clicks. Make sure the cap is fully installed. The
diagnostic system can determine if the fuel cap
has been left off or improperly installed. This would
allow fuel to evaporate into the atmosphere.
See Malfunction Indicator Lamp on page 186.
