From inside the car, locate the fuel notch release below the steering wheel on the left-hand side. It has a picture of a gas tank on it.
Pull this notch to release the fuel-filler door.
To remove the gas cap, turn it counterclockwise and place it in the fuel-filler door while you are refueling.
After fueling, turn the gas cap clockwise until you hear a single click that indicates the cap is locked in place. Close the fuel-filler door.
Failure to properly close the cap may cause the “Loose Fuel Cap” warning message on your vehicle’s dashboard to appear. Once you put the cap on securely, you’ll have to press and hold the “OK” button on your steering wheel to reset the light.
