How to RefuelYour fuel tank is not equipped with a fuel fill cap. You can insert the filler nozzle
directly into the filler pipe. The tank seals itself again when you pull out the filler

vehicle. Park next to the service pump that is
most accessible, and turn off the engine.
2.

Pr
ess the fuel fill door release button on the
driver’s door. The fuel fill door opens.
3.

Place the
end of the filler nozzle on the lower
part of the filler opening, then insert it slowly
and fully. Make sure that the end of the filler
nozzle goes down along with the filler pipe.
4.

After
filling, wait about 5 seconds before
removing the filler nozzle. Close the fuel fill door
by hand.

Testing of Readiness Codes
Your vehicle has readiness codes as part of the onboard self diagnostic system.
Some States use these codes for testing to verify whether your vehicle’s emissions
components are working properly. The codes may not be read if you go through the
emissions testing just after the battery has gone dead or been disconnected.
To check if they are set, turn the vehicle on without starting the engine. The
malfunction indicator lamp will come on for several seconds. If it goes off, the
readiness codes are set. If it blinks five times, the readiness codes are not set.
If you are required to have your vehicle emissions tested before the readiness codes
are set, prepare the vehicle for retesting by doing the following:
1.

Fill the
gas tank to approximately 3/4 full.
2.

P
ark the vehicle and leave the engine off for 6 hours or more.
3.

Mak
e sure the ambient temperature is between 40°F and 95°F (4°C and 35°C).
4.

Start
the engine without touching the accelerator pedal, and let it idle for 20
seconds.
5.

K
eep the vehicle in Park. Increase the engine speed to 2,000 rpm, and hold it
there for about 3 minutes.
6.

Let
the engine idle with your foot off the accelerator for 20 seconds.
7.
Select a nearb

y, lightly traveled major highway where you can maintain a speed
of 50 to 60 mph (80 to 97 km/h) for at least 20 minutes. Drive on the highway
with the vehicle in Drive. Do not use cruise control. When traffic allows, drive
for 90 seconds without using the accelerator pedal. (Vehicle speed may vary
slightly; this is OK.) If you cannot do this for a continuous 90 seconds because of
traffic conditions, drive for at least 30 seconds, then repeat two more times (for
a total of 90 seconds).
8.

Driv
e in city or suburban traffic for at least 10 minutes. When traffic conditions
allow, let the vehicle coast for several seconds without using the accelerator
pedal or the brake pedal.
9.

P
ark the vehicle and leave the engine off for 30 minutes.
The readiness codes are erased when the battery is disconnected, and set again
only after several days of driving under a variety of conditions.
If an emissions testing facility determines that the readiness codes are not set, you
may be requested to return at a later date to complete the test, or see your dealer.SPECIFICATIONS
