Park with the driver’s side closest
to the gas pump.
Outside of the vehicle, locate and
open the fuel fill door by pulling on
the notched edge.
Remove the fuel fill cap slowly.
You may hear a hissing sound as
pressure inside the tank escapes.
Place the cap in the holder on the
fuel fill door.
Stop filling the tank after the fuel
nozzle automatically clicks off. Do
not try to ‘‘top off’’ the tank. Leave
some room for the fuel to expand
with temperature changes.
even though the tank is not full,
there may be a problem with your
vehicle’s fuel vapor recovery
system. The system helps keep
fuel vapors from going into the
atmosphere. Try filling at another
pump. If this does not fix the
problem, consult your dealer.
Push the fuel fill door closed.
Screw the fuel fill cap back on
until it clicks at least three times.
If you do not properly tighten the
cap, the malfunction indicator
lamp may come on (see page
).
