Fuel and Refueling If you did not close the fuel fill inlet properly, a Check Fuel Fill Inlet message may appear on the information display. At the next opportunity, do the following: 1. Safely pull off the road. 2. Put the vehicle in park (P) and switch the ignition off. 3. Open the fuel filler door and remove any visible debris from the fuel fill opening. 4. Insert the fuel fill nozzle or the fuel fill funnel, provided with the vehicle, several times to dislodge any debris and 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 or highway driving. Continuing to drive with the message on may cause the service engine soon lamp to turn on as well. Using the manual override lever 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.
