Refueling

WARNING:

Fuel vapor burns violently and a fuel fire can cause

severe injuries. To help avoid injuries to you and others:

Read and follow all the instructions on the pump island;

Turn off your engine when you are refueling;

Do not smoke if you are near fuel or refueling your vehicle;

Keep sparks, flames and smoking materials away from fuel;

Stay outside your vehicle and do not leave the fuel pump
unattended when refueling your vehicle — this is against the
law in some places;

Keep children away from the fuel pump; never let children
pump fuel.

Use the following guidelines to avoid electrostatic charge build-up when
filling an ungrounded fuel container:

Place approved fuel container on the ground.

DO NOT fill a fuel container while it is in the vehicle (including the
cargo area).

Keep the fuel pump nozzle in contact with the fuel container while
filling.

DO NOT use a device that would hold the fuel pump handle in the fill
position.

Easy Fuel™ “no cap” fuel system

Your fuel tank is equipped with an Easy Fuel™ “no cap” fuel filler
system. This allows you to simply open the fuel filler door and insert the
fuel filler nozzle into the fuel system. The Easy Fuel™ system is
self-sealing and protected against dust, dirt, water and snow/ice.

When fueling your vehicle:

1. Turn the engine off.

2. Open the fuel filler door.

3. Slowly insert the fuel filler nozzle fully into the fuel system. Pump

fuel as normal.
