The fuel door release button is located to the left of the steering wheel next to the headlamp knob. The button only works when the vehicle is in PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N), when the key is in the ignition and the VALET lockout button is in OFF. An alternate fuel door release is located inside of the trunk on the driver's side. Pull it to release the fuel door. While refueling, hang the cap by the tether from the hook on the filler door. To remove the cap, turn it slowly to the left (counterclockwise). The cap has a spring in it; if you let go of the cap too soon, it will spring back to the right. 6-6
