4. Place the end of the filler nozzle on the 
lower part of filler opening, then insert it 
slowly and fully.
u Make sure that the end of the filler 
nozzle goes down along with the filler 
pipe.
u Keep the filler nozzle level.
u When the tank is full, the filler nozzle will 
click off automatically.
u After filling, wait about five seconds 
before removing th e filler nozzle.1How to Refuel
The fuel filler opening is designed to accept only 
service station filler nozzles for refueling. Use of 
smaller diamet er tubes (e.g., those used to siphon 
fuel for other uses) or  other non-service station 
devices can damage the area  in and around the filler 
opening.
Use the lock tab or the ma ster door lock switch to 
unlock the fuel fill door.
The vehicle doors and fuel  fill door automatically 
relock if the remote unlock  function is used. This can 
be deactivated by briefl y opening then closing the 
driver’s door.
The fuel fill door and its  latching mechanism can be 
permanently damaged if the fuel fill door is forced 
closed when the driver’s door is locked.
If the filler nozzle keeps tu rning 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.
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.
