in your area, a high cetane “pre-
mium” diesel fuel may offer improved
cold-starting and warm-up perfor-
mance.
BIODIESEL FUEL
REQUIREMENTS
A maximum blend of 7% biodiesel

further information regarding fuels
available in your area.
ADDING FUEL
1. Press the fuel filler door release
switch (located in the driver's door
map pocket).2. Open the fuel filler door.
3. There is no fuel filler cap. A flap-
per door inside the pipe seals the sys-
tem.
4. Insert the fuel nozzle fully into the
filler pipe – the nozzle opens and
holds the flapper door while refueling.
NOTE: Only the correct size
nozzle opens the latches allowing
the flapper door to open.
5. Fill the vehicle with fuel – when
the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off the
fuel tank is full.
6. Remove the fuel nozzle and close
the fuel door.NOTE: A funnel is provided (lo-
cated in the trunk in the spare tire
area) to open the flapper door to
allow for emergency refueling with
a gas can.CAUTION!
To avoid fuel spillage and overfill-
ing, do not “top off” the fuel tank
after filling.
WARNING!
Never have any smoking materi-
als lit in or near the vehicle when
the fuel door is open or the tank is
being filled.
