1. Before filling with fuel, stop the engine.
2. The fuel tank filler is located on the rear
driver side of your vehicle.
The fuel tank filler door can be opened
from inside the vehicle with the fuel tank
filler door release lever located at the left
side of the driver’s seat.
3. Open the fuel tank filler pipe by slowly
turning the fuel tank filler cap counter-
clockwise.
Before removing the fuel tank filler cap,
be sure to get rid of your body’s static
electricity by touching a metal part of the
car or fuel pump. Any static electricity on
your body could create a spark that
ignites fuel vapor.
Perform the whole refueling process
(opening the fuel tank filler door, remov-
ing the fuel cap, etc.) by yourself; do not
let any other person near the fuel tank
filler. If you allowed a person to help you
and that person was carrying static elec-
tricity, fuel vapor could be ignited.
Do not move away from the fuel tank filler
until refueling is finished. If you moved
away and did something else (for example,
sitting on a seat) part-way through the
refueling process, you could pick up a
fresh charge of static electricity.
Be careful not to inhale fuel vapor. Fuel
contains toxic substances.
Keep the doors and windows closed while
refueling the vehicle. If they were open,
fuel vapor could get into the cabin.
Fuel tank capacity
Since the fuel system may be under pres-
sure, remove the fuel tank filler cap
slowly. This relieves any pressure or vac-
uum that might have built up in the fuel
tank. If the cap is venting vapor or if you
hear a hissing sound, wait until the sound
stops before removing the cap. Otherwise,
fuel may spray out, injuring you or others.
