WARNINGS
Do not use personal electronic devices
while refueling.
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
your 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.
Easy Fuel™ Capless Fuel System
WARNING
The fuel system may be under pressure.
If you hear a hissing sound near the fuel
filler door, do not refuel until the sound
stops. Otherwise, fuel may spray out, which
could cause serious personal injury.
When fueling your vehicle:
1. Put the vehicle in position P and switch
the ignition off.
E175448
2. Press the center-rear edge of the fuel
filler door and release to open.
E156032
Note: Hold the handle of the fuel filler nozzle
higher while you insert the nozzle for easier
access.
3. Slowly insert the fuel filler nozzle fully into
the fuel system to open both doors. Leave
the nozzle fully inserted until you have
stopped pumping fuel.
E154765
Note: Allow about five to ten seconds after
pumping fuel before removing the fuel filler
nozzle. This allows residual fuel to drain back
into the fuel tank and not spill onto the vehicle.
4. After you have stopped pumping fuel,
slowly remove the fuel filler nozzle.
Note: A fuel spillage concern may occur if
overfilling the fuel tank. Do not overfill the tank
to the point that the fuel is able to bypass the
fuel filler nozzle. The overfilled fuel may run
down the drain located below and in front of
the fuel filler door.
