Note:
Do not use aftermarket funnels; they will not work with the
capless fuel system and can damage it. The included funnel has been
specially designed to work safely with your vehicle.
When filling the vehicle’s fuel tank from a portable fuel container, use the
funnel included with the vehicle.
1. Locate the white plastic funnel in the spare tire
compartment.
2. Slowly insert the funnel into the capless fuel
system.
3. Fill the 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.
REFUELING
WARNING:
Fuel vapor burns violently and a fuel fire can cause
severe injuries. To help avoid injuries to you and others:
•
Read and follow all the instructions on the pump island.
•
Turn off your engine when you are refueling.
•
Do not smoke if you are near fuel or refueling your vehicle.
•
Keep sparks, flames and smoking materials away from fuel.
•
Stay outside your vehicle and do not leave the fuel pump unattended
when refueling your vehicle - this is against the law in some places.
•
Keep children away from the fuel pump; never let children pump fuel.
•
Do not use personal electronic devices while refueling.
WARNING:
Stop refueling after the fuel pump nozzle
automatically shuts off for the second time. Failure to follow this
will fill the expansion space in the fuel tank and could lead to fuel
overflowing.
Note:
Wait at least 10 seconds before removing the fuel pump nozzle to
allow any residual fuel to drain into the fuel tank.
