In certain cold conditions, ice may prevent the fuel
door from opening. If this occurs, lightly push on the
fuel door to break the ice buildup and re-release the
fuel door using the inside release button. Do not pry
on the door.
5. There is no fuel filler cap. Two flapper doors inside
the pipe seal the system.

nozzle opens and holds both flapper doors while
refueling.
7. Fill the vehicle with fuel. When the fuel nozzle
“clicks” or shuts off the fuel tank is full.

allow fuel to drain from nozzle.
9. Remove the fuel nozzle and close the fuel door.
Engage the fuel door latch by pushing on the rear
outer edge near the center.
WARNING!
•
Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the
vehicle when the fuel door is open or the tank is
being filled.
•
Never add fuel when the engine is running. This is
in violation of most state and federal fire regula-
tions and may cause the Malfunction Indicator
Light to turn on.
•
A fire may result if fuel is pumped into a portable
container that is inside of a vehicle. You could be
burned. Always place fuel containers on the
ground while filling.
CAUTION!
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top off”
the fuel tank after filling.
