Chevrolet Cruze Owners Manual: Filling the Tank
WARNING
Fuel vapors and fuel fires burn violently and can cause injury or death.
• To help avoid injuries to you and others, read and follow all the instructions on the fuel pump island.
• Turn off the engine when refueling.
• Keep sparks, flames, and smoking materials away from fuel.
• Do not leave the fuel pump unattended.
• Do not reenter the vehicle while pumping fuel.
• Keep children away from the fuel pump and never let children pump fuel.
• Fuel can spray out if the fuel cap is opened too quickly.
This spray can happen if the tank is nearly full, and is more likely in hot weather.
Open the fuel cap slowly and wait for any hiss noise to stop then unscrew the cap all the way
The tethered fuel cap is behind the fuel door on the vehicle's passenger side. To open the fuel door, push the rearward center edge in and release. When applied pressure is removed, the fuel door will spring partially open.
Turn the fuel cap counterclockwise to remove. Reinstall the cap by turning it clockwise until it clicks.
If the cap is not properly installed, the malfunction indicator lamp will come on.
Do not top off or overfill the tank.
Wait a few seconds before removing the nozzle. Clean fuel from painted surfaces as soon as possible.
WARNING
If a fire starts while you are refueling, do not remove the nozzle. Shut off the flow of fuel by shutting off the pump or by notifying the station attendant.
Leave the area immediately.
Notice: If a new fuel cap is needed, be sure to get the right type of cap from your dealer. The wrong type of fuel cap might not fit properly, might cause the malfunction indicator lamp to light, and could damage the fuel tank and emissions system.
