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.

4. After you are done pumping fuel, slowly remove the fuel filler

nozzle—allow about five seconds after pumping fuel before removing the

fuel filler nozzle. This allows residual fuel to drain back into the fuel tank

and not spill onto the vehicle.

Note: A fuel spillage concern may occur if overfilling the fuel tank. Do

not overfill the tank to the point that the fuel is able to bypass the fuel

filler nozzle. The overfilled fuel may run down the drain located below

and in front of the fuel filler door.

If the check fuel fill inlet lamp or CHECK FUEL FILL INLET message

comes on, the fuel fill inlet may not have properly closed. The inlet may

have stuck open or debris may be preventing the inlet from fully closing.

At the next opportunity, safely pull off the road, turn off the engine,

open the fuel filler door and remove any visible debris from the fuel fill

opening. Insert either the fuel fill nozzle or the fuel fill funnel (see

Refilling with a portable fuel container for funnel location) provided

with the vehicle several times to dislodge any debris and/or allow the

inlet to close properly. If this action corrects the problem, the check fuel

fill inlet lamp or CHECK FUEL FILL INLET message may not reset
