Fuel and Emission

Refueling

Before refueling, close all the doors, windows, and the liftgate, and switch the ignition OFF.

  1. To open the fuel-filler lid, pull the remote fuel-filler lid release.

     

  2. To remove the fuel-filler cap, turn it counterclockwise.

  3. Attach the removed cap to the inner side of the fuel-filler lid.

     

  4. Insert the refueling nozzle all the way and begin refueling. Pull out the refueling nozzle after the refueling stops automatically.

  5. To close the fuel-filler cap, turn it clockwise until a click is heard.

  6. To close, press the fuel-filler lid until it locks securely.

     

 


(U.S.A. and Canada)

If the check fuel cap warning light illuminates, the fuel-filler cap may not be properly installed. If the warning light illuminates, park your vehicle safely off the right-of-way, remove the fuel-filler cap and reinstall it correctly. After the cap has been correctly installed, the fuel cap warning light may continue to illuminate until a number of driving cycles have been completed. A drive cycle consists of starting the engine (after four or more hours with the engine off) and driving the vehicle on city and highway roads.

Continuing to drive with the check fuel cap warning light illuminated could cause the check engine light to illuminate as well.
