Nissan Rogue (T33) 2021-Present Owner’s Manual & User Guide: Fuel-filler door

Basic information

CAUTION

• Avoid applying direct water pressure, such as high-pressured sprayer, on or around the fuel-filler door.
• Be sure to close the fuel-filler door before using an automatic car wash or a high-pressured car wash.

Opening the fuel-filler door

To open the fuel-filler door, push the middle left side of the door. This design makes refueling the Nissan Rogue quick and convenient.

How to refuel

The fuel tank is not equipped with a fuel-filler cap. After opening the fuel-filler door, insert the fuel pump nozzle directly into the fuel-filler opening. When the fuel pump nozzle is pulled out, the fuel-filler opening will be sealed, helping maintain proper pressure in the Nissan Rogue fuel system.

To refuel: Be sure to insert the fuel pump nozzle slowly into the fuel-filler opening as far as it will go before fueling.

Never move the nozzle during refueling.

Pull out the nozzle approximately 5 seconds after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off automatically (initial shut-off). This helps maintain proper fuel pressure in the Nissan Rogue fuel system.

Close the fuel-filler door after refueling.

If you need to refuel from a portable fuel container, use the funnel supplied with your vehicle.

CAUTION

• Do not attempt to open the flaps on the fuel-filler opening using any tool other than the fuel pump nozzle.
• This fuel-filler opening is only conformable to normal fuel pump nozzles at gas stations. Using a nozzle with a small diameter may damage the opening and the fuel system.
• If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body, flush it away with water to avoid paint damage.

WARNING

• Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive under certain conditions. You could be burned or seriously injured if it is misused or mishandled. Always stop engine and do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks near the vehicle when refueling your Nissan Rogue.
• Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off automatically.

Continued refueling may cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel spray and possibly a fire.

• Never pour fuel into the throttle body to attempt to start your vehicle.
• Do not fill a portable fuel container in the vehicle or trailer.

Static electricity can cause an explosion of flammable liquid, vapor or gas in any vehicle or trailer. To reduce the risk of serious injury or death when filling portable fuel containers:

• Always place the container on the ground when filling.
• Do not use electronic devices when filling.
• Keep the pump nozzle in contact with the container while you are filling it.
• Use only approved portable fuel containers for flammable liquid.

When refueling from a portable fuel container

If you need to refuel from a portable fuel container, use the funnel A stored in the tool bag (located under the luggage board).

Be sure to insert the funnel into the fuel-filler opening slowly and fully. Insert the nozzle of the portable fuel container into the opening along the funnel and fill the fuel tank of your Nissan Rogue carefully.

After refueling, remove the funnel from the fuel-filler opening. Wipe the funnel clean and return it to the tool bag.

CAUTION

• Do not insert the nozzle of the portable fuel container directly into the fuel-filler opening. Doing so may damage the opening and the fuel system.
• Use only the funnel provided with your vehicle. Otherwise, the fuel-filler opening and the fuel system may be damaged.
