The fuel door release system consists of the following
main components.
• | The fuel door release actuator. |
• | A fuel door release button. This button is mounted on the instrument
panel below the headlamp switch. |
• | A valet switch (release lockout switch). This switch is located
in the instrument panel compartment (glovebox). |
• | The keyless entry transmitter. |
Pressing the fuel door release button opens the fuel filler door provided
that the following conditions are both true:
• | The gear shift lever is in PARK or NEUTRAL. |
• | The valet switch is in the OFF position. |
Pressing the fuel door release button on the keyless entry transmitter
opens the rear compartment provided that one of the following is true:
• | The ignition switch is OFF. |
• | The ignition switch is in RUN and the gear shift lever is set
to PARK. |
The valet switch (when set to ON) disables the fuel door release button
on the instrument panel. It also disables the keyless entry fob fuel door
release button.
The fuel door may also be opened using the manual fuel door release,
located in the top of the rear compartment, on the left hand side.
