There is also a manual
fuel door release tab.
It is located against the
upper trim in the rear
compartment on the driver
side of the vehicle. Pull the
tab to release the fuel door.
To remove the fuel cap, turn it slowly counterclockwise.
While refueling, let the cap hang by the tether below
the fuel fill opening.
{ CAUTION:
Fuel can spray out on you if you open the fuel cap
too quickly. If you spill fuel and then something
ignites it, you could be badly burned. This spray
can happen if the tank is nearly full, and is more
likely in hot weather. Open the fuel cap slowly and
wait for any hiss noise to stop. Then unscrew the
cap all the way.
Be careful not to spill fuel. Do not top off or overfill the
tank and wait a few seconds after you have finished
pumping before removing the nozzle. Clean fuel
from painted surfaces as soon as possible.
