Service and Maintenance
Filling the Tank
The cap is behind a hinged door
on the left side of your vehicle.
Because your vehicle's fuel system
is compatible with ethanol fuel,
the fuel cap will be yellow with
"E-85 or gasoline" printed on it.
Press on the center of the rear
edge of the fuel door and it will
pop open.
Remove the fuel filler cap by
turning slowly counter-clockwise.
The cap has a spring in it. If you let
go of the cap too soon, it will
spring back to the right. Replace it
by turning it clockwise. When you
put the cap back on, continue to
turn it clockwise until you hear a
clicking noise.
The fuel filler cap will require more
effort to turn on the last turn when
removing or tightening it.
If the fuel cap is not installed
properly, the TIGHTEN GAS CAP
message will appear on the Driver
Information Center display. See
"Driver Information Center
Messages" in Section 1.
Also see "Malfunction Indicator
Light" under "Warning Lights" in
Section 1 for more information.
CAUTION
Fuel vapor is highly flammable.
Keep sparks, flames and
smoking materials away from
fuel.
If you get gasoline on you and
then something ignites it, you
could be badly burned.
To avoid injuries to you and
others, read and follow all
instructions on the gas station
pump.
Turn off your engine before
refueling.
