with the fuel container when filling it.
Do not use a device that holds the fuel
pump nozzle lever in the fill position.
ADDING FUEL FROM A PORTABLE
FUEL CONTAINER
If you use E85 exclusively, we recommend
that you fill the fuel tank with minimum 95
octane unleaded gasoline defined by EN
228 or the equivalent national specification
at each scheduled oil change.
WARNING: Do not insert the nozzle
of a fuel container or an aftermarket
funnel into the fuel filler neck. This may
damage the fuel system filler neck or its
seal and cause fuel to run onto the
ground.
LOCATING THE FUEL FILLER
FUNNEL
WARNING: Do not pry open the
fuel tank filler valve. This could damage
the fuel system. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in fire, personal
injury or death.
The fuel filler funnel is under the luggage
compartment floor covering.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
WARNING: Do not dispose of fuel
in the household refuse or the public
sewage system. Use an authorized waste
disposal facility.
FILLING A PORTABLE FUEL
CONTAINER
When refueling the vehicle fuel tank from
a fuel container, use the fuel filler funnel
included with your vehicle. See Locating
the Fuel Filler Funnel (page 190).
WARNING: Flow of fuel through a
fuel pump nozzle can produce static
electricity. This can cause a fire if you are
filling an ungrounded fuel container.
Use the following guidelines to avoid
electrostatic charge build-up, which can
produce a spark, when filling an
ungrounded fuel container:
When refueling the vehicle fuel tank from
a fuel container, do the following:
•
Only use an approved fuel container to
transfer fuel to your vehicle. Place the
container on the ground when filling it.
1. Fully open the fuel filler door.
•
Do not fill a fuel container when it is
inside your vehicle (including the cargo
area).
