Dodge Viper 2017, Operating Information Manual

NOTE:
In certain cold conditions, ice may prevent
the fuel door from opening. If this occurs,
lightly push on the fuel door to break the ice
buildup and re-release the fuel door using
the inside release button. Do not pry on the
door.
3. There is no fuel filler cap. A flapper door
inside the pipe seals the system.
4. Insert the fuel nozzle fully into the filler pipe –
the nozzle opens and holds the flapper door
while refueling.
NOTE:
Only the correct size nozzle opens the
latches allowing the flapper door to open.
5. Fill the vehicle with fuel – when the fuel
nozzle “clicks” or shuts off the fuel tank is full.
6. Remove the fuel nozzle and close the fuel
door.
NOTE:
A funnel is provided (located in the trunk in
the spare tire area) to open the flapper door
to allow for emergency refueling with a gas
can.
WARNING!
•
Never have any smoking materials lit in or
near the vehicle when the fuel door is open
or the tank is being filled.
•
Never add fuel when the engine is running.
This is in violation of most state and federal
fire regulations and may cause the “Mal-
function Indicator Light” to turn on.
•
A fire may result if fuel is pumped into a
portable container that is inside of a ve-
hicle. You could be burned. Always place
fuel containers on the ground while filling.
CAUTION!
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not
“top off” the fuel tank after filling.
Emergency Fuel Filler Door Release
If you are unable to open the fuel filler door, use
the fuel filler door emergency release procedure
by following the proceeding steps.
1. Open the liftgate.
2. Locate the carpet access door (on the right
side inner trim panel of the trunk).
