When fueling your vehicle:
1.
Put the vehicle in position P and switch
the ignition off. 2. Press the center-rear edge of the fuel
filler door and release to open. Note:
Hold the handle of the fuel filler
nozzle higher while you insert the nozzle
for easier access.
3. Slowly insert the fuel filler nozzle fully into the fuel system to open both
doors. Leave the nozzle fully inserted
until you have stopped pumping fuel. Note:
Allow about five to ten seconds after
pumping fuel before removing the fuel
filler nozzle. This allows residual fuel to
drain back into the fuel tank and not spill
onto the vehicle.
4. After you have stopped pumping fuel,
slowly remove the fuel filler nozzle.
Note: A fuel spillage concern may occur
if overfilling the fuel tank. Do not overfill
the tank to the point that the fuel is able
to bypass the fuel filler nozzle. The
overfilled fuel may run down the drain
located below and in front of the fuel filler
door.
5. To close the fuel filler door, press the center-rear edge of the fuel filler door
and then release. The fuel door will
latch closed.
If the fuel fill inlet did not close properly, a
Check Fuel Fill Inlet message may appear
on the instrument cluster.
At the next opportunity, do the following:
1. Safely pull off the road.
2. Put the vehicle in position P and switch
the ignition off.
3. Open the fuel filler door and remove any visible debris from the fuel fill
opening.
