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.
Using the Easy Fuel™ Capless Fuel System (Except C-MAX Energi)
WARNING: The fuel system may be under pressure. Insert the
fuel nozzle slowly. 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. Put the vehicle in P (Park) and turn the ignition off.
2. Open the fuel filler door.
3. Slowly insert the fuel filler nozzle
fully into the fuel system, and leave
the nozzle fully inserted to open
both doors until you are done
pumping. Hold handle higher during
insertion for easier access.
4. After you are done pumping fuel,
slowly remove the fuel filler
nozzle—allow about five to ten
seconds after pumping fuel before
removing the fuel filler nozzle. This
allows residual fuel to drain back
into the fuel tank and not spill onto
the vehicle.
