The fuel filler flap springs open.

Turn fuel cap2 counterclockwise and
hold on to it until possible pressure is
released.

Take off fuel cap2 and place it into
holder3 located on the inside of the

unit cuts out – do not top off or over-
fill.

Replace fuel cap by turning it clockwise
until it audibly engages.

ing the fuel pump nozzle, which could cause
personal injury.i
Make sure to close the fuel filler flap before
locking your vehicle as the flap locking pin pre-
vents closing after you have locked the vehicle.

cator lampú(USA only) or the malfunction
