ADDING FUEL

Open the fuel filler door

There is no fuel filler cap

A flapper

door inside the pipe seals the system

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

Fill the vehicle with fuel – when the fuel
nozzle “clicks” or shuts off the fuel tank
is full

Remove the fuel nozzle and close the
fuel door

NOTE:

A funnel is provided (located in the tool bag or cargo floor area in the rear cargo area)
to open the flapper door to allow for emergency refueling with a gas can

CAUTION!

To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top off” the fuel tank after filling
