With this system, you simply open the fuel door, insert the nozzle and begin fueling. It is self-sealing
and therefore protected against dust, dirt, water, snow and ice. Wait 10 seconds from the time the
refueling nozzle is shut-off until you remove the nozzle from the vehicl\
e to allow residual fuel in
the nozzle to drain into the tank. When using a portable fuel container, slowly insert the fuel funnel
(located in the spare tire compartment) and pour the fuel into the fun\
nel.
Note: Do not use aftermarket funnels as they will not work with the Easy Fuel system and may cause
damage. Properly clean the funnel after each use.
