Manual override procedure
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.
The manual override lever is located inside of the trunk on the right rear
side panel.
Remove the panel to access the lever.
When using the fuel door manual override to access the fuel fill inlet:
1. You must key on prior to using a manual override.
2. Open the fuel door with the manual override mechanism located in
trunk.
3. Key off and complete refueling within 15 minutes. If more than
15 minutes is required, close fuel door, and repeat procedure.
This will enable you to refuel without any issue.
Note: A fuel spillage concern may occur if overfilling the fuel tank. Do
not overfill the tank to the point that the fuel is able to bypass the fuel
filler nozzle. The overfilled fuel may run down the drain located below
and in front of the fuel filler door.
