Opening/closing the fuel filler door
The fuel filler door is located on the right rear
fender (indicated by an arrow beside the fuel
tank symbol on the information display
)
With the ignition switched off, press and
release the button on the lighting panel to
unlock the fuel filler door. Please note that the
fuel filler door will remain unlocked until the
vehicle begins to move forward. An audible
click will be heard when the fuel filler door
relocks.
•
If you intend to leave your vehicle while it
is being refueled, this feature enables you
to lock the doors/trunk while leaving the
fuel filler door unlocked.
•
You can also keep the vehicle locked if you
remain inside it during refueling. The cen-
tral locking button does not lock the fuel
filler door.
•
Be sure the fuel filler door is not obstructed
and is completely closed after refueling.
•
Open the fuel filler cap slowly during hot
weather.
Close the fuel filler door by pressing it; a click
indicates that it is closed.
CAUTION
•
Avoid spilling gasoline during refueling.
In addition to causing damage to the
environment, gasolines containing
alcohol can cause damage to painted
surfaces, which may not be covered
under the New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty.

If necessary, the fuel filler door can be opened
manually:
1. Open the side hatch in the trunk (on the
same side as the fuel filler door).
2. Grasp the green cord with a handle.
3. Gently pull the cord straight rearward until
the fuel filler door clicks open.
