Fuel filler door
Press the button on the light switch panel (see illustration on
page 56) when the vehicle is at a standstill 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/tailgate while
leaving the fuel filler door unlocked.
You can also keep the vehicle locked if you remain inside it during refueling. The central 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.
NOTE: During a transitional period, a small number of service stations may still have fuel nozzles that are not compatible
with the fuel filler neck on vehicles equipped with the evaporative control system.
Refueling
The fuel tank holds approximately 21.1 US gals. (80 liters) with sufficient volume left over to accommodate possible
expansion of the fuel in hot weather. Be aware that the "usable" tank capacity will be somewhat less than the specified
maximum. When the fuel level is low, such factors as ambient temperature, the fuel's "Reid vapor pressure"
characteristics, and terrain can affect the fuel pump's ability to supply the engine with an adequate supply of fuel.
Therefore, it is advisable to refuel as soon as possible when the needle nears the red zone, or when the fuel warning light
comes on.
WARNING!
Never carry a cell phone that is switched on while refueling your vehicle. If the phone rings, this may cause a spark that
could ignite gasoline fumes, resulting in fire and injury.
