The fuel-filler lid must be opened from inside the vehicle by pulling up on the
fuel-filler lid opener located on the front floor area on the driver’s seat.
✽ NOTICE
If the fuel filler lid will not open because ice has formed around it, tap
lightly or push on the lid to break the ice and release the lid. Do not pry on the
lid. If necessary, spray around the lid with an approved de-icer fluid (do not use
radiator anti-freeze) or move the vehicle to a warm place and allow the ice to melt.
