Fuel and Refueling 195 If the fuel fill inlet was not properly closed, a Check Fuel Fill Inlet message may appear on the information display screen. At the next opportunity, do the following: 1. Safely pull off the road. 2. Put the vehicle in P (Park) and turn the ignition off. 3. Open the fuel filler door and remove any visible debris from the fuel fill opening. 4. Insert either the fuel fill nozzle or the fuel fill funnel provided with the vehicle several times to dislodge any debris and/or allow the inlet to close properly. If this action corrects the problem, the message may not reset immediately. It may take several driving cycles for the message to turn off. A driving cycle consists of an engine start-up (after four or more hours with the engine off) followed by city/highway driving. Continuing to drive with the message on may cause the service engine soon lamp to turn on as well. Using the Easy Fuel™ Capless Fuel System (C-MAX Energi Only) WARNING: The fuel system may be under pressure. Insert the fuel nozzle slowly. If you hear a hissing sound near the fuel filler door, do not refuel until the sound stops. Otherwise, fuel may spray out, which could cause serious personal injury. Note: Your vehicle features a locking fuel door and an Easy Fuel™ system which has a auto-sealing feature that locks the fuel tank refueling valve. Before you can refuel your vehicle you must first press the button located on your instrument panel. Pressing this button will unlock the fuel tank refueling valve allowing the fuel filler door to open so that the fuel filler nozzle can be inserted into the fuel tank. This could take up to 15 seconds before the fuel filler door pops open allowing the insertion of the fuel filler nozzle. In the event that the fuel valve does not unlock automatically you can pull the manual override lever located in the trunk. This will open the refueling door and allow access to fill your vehicle. 2013 C-Max Full Hybrid (34h) Owners Guide gf, 3rd Printing, January 2013 USA (fus)
