2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee Refueling in an Emergency User Guide
REFUELING IN EMERGENCY
The vehicle is equipped with a refueling funnel page 314 for a Cap-Less Fuel System. If refueling is necessary, while using an approved gas can, please insert the refueling funnel into the filler neck opening.
NOTE:
In certain cold conditions, ice may prevent the fuel door from opening. If this occurs, lightly push around the perimeter of the fuel door to break the ice build-up. Re-release the fuel door by pushing on the rear outer edge near the center to unlatch. Do not pry on the door.
Emergency Gas Can Refueling
Most gas cans will not open the flapper doors. A funnel is provided to allow emergency refueling with a gas can.
See the following steps for refueling:
- Retrieve funnel from the spare tire storage area.
- Insert funnel into same filler pipe opening as the fuel nozzle.
- Ensure funnel is inserted fully to hold flapper doors open.
- Pour fuel into funnel opening.
CAUTION!
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top off” the fuel tank after filling. - Remove funnel from filler pipe, clean off prior to putting back in the spare tire storage area.
- Close the fuel door making sure the latch is engaged by pushing on the rear outer edge near the center.
WARNING!
- Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the vehicle when the fuel door is open or the tank is being filled.
- Never add fuel when the engine is running. This is in violation of most state and federal fire regulations and may cause the Malfunction Indicator Light to turn on.
- A fire may result if fuel is pumped into a portable container that is inside of a vehicle. You could be burned. Always place fuel containers on the ground while filling.
