FUEL FILL DOOR RELEASE HANDLE
FUEL FILL CAP
If the fuel nozzle keeps clicking off
even though the tank is not full,
there may be a problem with your
vehicle’s fuel vapor recovery
system. The system helps keep
fuel vapor from going into the
atmosphere. Try filling at another
pump. If this does not fix the
problem, consult your dealer.

to the service station pump.
3. Remove the fuel fill cap slowly.
