Refilling With a Portable Fuel
Container
WARNINGS
Do not insert the nozzle of portable
fuel containers or aftermarket
funnels into the capless fuel system.
This could damage the fuel system and its
seal, and may cause fuel to run onto the
ground instead of filling the tank, which
could result in serious personal injury.
Do not try to pry open or push open
the capless fuel system with foreign
objects. This could damage the fuel
system and its seal and cause injury to you
or others.
When filling your vehicle's fuel tank from
a portable fuel container, use the funnel
included with your vehicle.
Use the following guidelines to avoid
electrostatic charge build-up when filling
an ungrounded fuel container:
•
Place approved fuel container on the
ground.
•
Do not fill a fuel container while it is in
the vehicle (including the cargo area).
•
Keep the fuel pump nozzle in contact
with the fuel container while filling.
•
Do not use a device that would hold
the fuel pump handle in the fill position.
1.
Locate the plastic funnel in the glove
box.
2. Slowly insert the funnel into the
capless fuel system.
3. Fill your vehicle with fuel from the
portable fuel container.
4. When done, clean the funnel or
properly dispose of it. Extra funnels can
be purchased from your authorized
dealer if you choose to dispose of the
funnel.

WARNING
Do not park or idle your vehicle over
dry leaves, dry grass or other
combustible materials. The exhaust
will radiate a considerable amount of heat
during use, and after you have switched
the engine off. This is a potential fire
hazard.
