Warning (Continued)
.
Do not leave the fuel pump
unattended.
.
Do not use a cell phone
while refueling.
.
Do not re-enter the vehicle
while pumping fuel.
.
Keep children away from
the fuel pump and never let
children pump fuel.
.
Fuel can spray out if the fuel
cap is opened too quickly.
This spray can happen if the
tank is nearly full, and is
more likely in hot weather.
Open the fuel cap slowly
and wait for any hiss noise
to stop, then unscrew the
cap all the way.
Van Shown, Pickup Similar
The green fuel cap is behind a
hinged door on the driver side of the
vehicle. On van and 4-cylinder
pickup models, the blue diesel
exhaust fluid cap is also behind the
fuel door. Do not remove both caps
at the same time.
For models with dual fuel tanks, the
fuel gauge shows an average of
both tanks. The rear tank is emptied
first. When refueling, refuel the front
tank first, then add fuel to the
rear tank.
To remove the fuel cap, turn it
slowly counterclockwise.

Warning
Overfilling the fuel tank by more
than three clicks of a standard fill
nozzle may cause:
.
Vehicle performance issues,
including engine stalling and
damage to the fuel system.
.
Fuel spills.
.
Potential fuel fires.
Be careful not to spill fuel. Wait a
few seconds after you have finished
pumping before removing the
nozzle. Clean fuel from painted
surfaces as soon as possible. See
“Exterior Care” in the owner manual.
Diesel fuel can foam when filling the
tank. This can cause the automatic
pump nozzle to shut off, even if the
tank is not full. If this happens, wait
for the foaming to stop, and then fill
the tank more slowly.
