nozzle. 1.Stop your vehicle with the service station

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 master door lock switch to unlock the fuel fill
door.
The vehicle doors and fuel fill door automatically
relock if the keyless remo te unlock function is used.
This can be deactivated by briefly opening then
closing the driver’s door.
