How to RefuelYour fuel tank is not equipped with a fuel fill cap. You can insert the filler nozzle
directly into the filler neck. The tank seals itself again when you pull out the filler
nozzle.
1.Stop your vehicle with the service station
pump on the left side of the vehicle in the
rear.
2.Turn off the engine.
3.Press the fuel fill door release button.
uThe fuel fill door opens.
4.Place the end of the filler nozzle on the
lower part of filler opening, then insert it
slowly and fully.
uMake sure that the end of the filler
nozzle goes down along with the filler
pipe.
uKeep the filler nozzle level.
uWhen the tank is full, the filler nozzle will
click off automatically.
uAfter filling, wait about five seconds
before removing the filler nozzle.
5.Shut the fuel fill door by hand.
1How to Refuel
Only a service station filler nozzle can be used.
The filler nozzle automatically stops to leave space in
the fuel tank so that fuel does not overflow as a result
of changes in air temperature.
If the fuel nozzle keeps turning off when the tank is
not full, there may be a problem with the pump’s fuel
vapor recovery system. Try filling at another pump. If
this does not fix the problem, consult a dealer.
Do not continue to add fuel after the nozzle has
automatically stopped. Additional fuel can exceed
the full tank capacity.
If you have to refuel your vehicle from a portable
container, use the funnel provided with your vehicle.
