Press the Fuel Filler Lid Release lever, which is located below the driver’s seat, next to the door. You will hear the lid release. 2. Manually pull the fuel filler lid open. 3. Turn the fuel cap counterclockwise until it can be removed. 4. After refueling, put the fuel cap back on by rotating it clockwise until it clicks.
