or refueling your vehicle. Do not use
cellular phones. Keep sparks, ames, and
smoking materials away from fuel. Do not
leave the fuel pump unattended when
refueling your vehicle. This is against the

from the fuel pump; never let children
pump fuel.To open the fuel filler
door, pull up on the

The tethered fuel cap
is located behind a
hinged fuel door on the
passenger’s side of
the vehicle.
To remove the fuel cap, turn it slowly to the left
(counterclockwise). The fuel cap has a spring in it;
if the cap is released too soon, it will spring back
to the right.
