How to Refuel
Your fuel tank is not equipped with a fu el 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 area indicated by the arrow to 
release the fuel fill door. You will hear a 
click.
u Driver’s door must be unlocked.1How to Refuel
The fuel filler opening is  designed to accept only 
service station filler nozzles for refueling. Use of 
smaller diameter tubes (e.g ., to siphon fuel for other 
uses) or other non-service station devices can 
damage the area in and around the filler opening.
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 fi lling at another pump. If 
this does not fix the problem, consult a dealer.

Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. 
You can be burned or seriously injured
