  4. To remove the fuel tank cap (1), turn it counterclockwise. You may hear a hissing noise as the pressure inside the tank equalizes.
  5. Place the cap on the fuel filler door.
    NOTE

    Before refueling, be sure to check what type of fuel your vehicle uses.

    If you put diesel or ethanol fuel into a gasoline-powered vehicle, it will affect the fuel system and cause serious damage to the vehicle.

    TIP

    If the fuel filler door does not open because ice has formed around it, tap lightly or push on the door to break the ice and release the door. Do not pry on the door. If necessary, spray around the door with an approved deicer fluid (do not use radiator anti-freeze) or move the vehicle to a warm place and allow the ice to melt.
