Refueling Procedure  
Note:  
Make sure to lock both the doors  
when leaving the vehicle.  
Fuel Filler Door  
Note: Always use only a designated  
FCA fuel filler cap or an approved  
equivalent, available at your authorized  
dealer. The wrong cap can result in a  
serious malfunction of the fuel and  
emission control systems.  
Warning!  
Lock the doors after closing the fuel  
filler door. If the fuel filler door is closed  
after locking the doors, the fuel filler  
door cannot be locked.  
Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust gases is  
deadly. Follow the precautions below to  
prevent carbon monoxide poisoning:  
Do not inhale exhaust gases. They  
contain carbon monoxide, a colorless and  
odorless gas, which can kill. Never run the  
engine in a closed area, such as a garage,  
and never sit in a parked vehicle with the  
engine running for an extended period. If  
the vehicle is stopped in an open area with  
the engine running for more than a short  
period, adjust the ventilation system to  
force fresh, outside air into the vehicle.  
Fuel Filler Cap  
When the fuel filler door end is pressed  
with the doors unlocked, the fuel filler  
door rises.  
To remove the fuel filler cap, turn it  
counterclockwise. Attach the removed  
cap to the inner side of the fuel filler  
door.  
Guard against carbon monoxide with  
proper maintenance. Have the exhaust  
system inspected every time the vehicle is  
raised. Have any abnormal conditions  
repaired promptly. Until repaired, drive with  
all side windows fully open.

Door Release  
2. Partially peel back the cover inside  
the trunk, then pull the emergency  
release lever.  
Warning!  
If the battery is discharged, the fuel filler  
door cannot be opened. In this case,  
the fuel filler door can be opened by  
taking care of the discharged battery  
situation.  
Never have any smoking materials lit in  
or near the vehicle when the gas cap is  
removed or the tank is being filled.  
Never add fuel when the engine is  
running. This is in violation of most state  
and federal fire regulations and may cause  
the MIL to turn on.  
If the fuel filler door cannot be opened  
even if the discharged battery situation  
has been resolved, the electrical system  
may have a malfunction.  
A fire may result if gasoline is pumped  
into a portable container that is inside of a  
vehicle. You could be burned. Always  
place gas containers on the ground while  
filling.  
In this case, the fuel filler door can be  
opened using the following procedure  
as an emergency measure:
