196 Fuel and Refueling When fueling your vehicle: 1. Put the vehicle in P (Park) and turn the ignition off. 2. Press the fuel button located on the instrument panel. 3. Wait up to 15 seconds before opening the fuel filler door. During this time a Please Wait to Refuel message will appear in the information display screen. Note: When the door is open a Ready to Refuel message will appear in the information display screen indicating that the vehicle is ready to be filled. The vehicle will remain ready to refuel for approximately 20 minutes. If more than 20 minutes is exceeded, the refueling button will need to be pressed again. (You may experience the fuel pump shutting off if the refuel button is not pressed again). 4. Slowly insert the fuel filler nozzle fully into the fuel system, and leave the nozzle fully inserted to open both doors until you are done pumping. Hold handle higher during insertion for easier access. 5. After you are done pumping fuel, slowly remove the fuel filler nozzle-allow about five to ten seconds after pumping fuel before removing the fuel filler nozzle. This allows residual fuel to drain back into the fuel tank and not spill onto the vehicle. 2013 C-Max Full Hybrid (34h) Owners Guide gf, 3rd Printing, January 2013 USA (fus)
