From the manual ( p. 394):

Easy Fuel “no cap” fuel system
Your fuel tank is equipped with an Easy Fuel “no cap” fuel filler system.
This allows you to simply open the fuel filler door and insert the fuel
filler nozzle into the fuel system. The Easy Fuel system is self-sealing
and protected against dust, dirt, water and snow/ice.
When fueling your vehicle:
1. Turn the engine off.
2. Open the fuel filler door by pressing the center of the door about one
inch from the door’s rear edge.
3. Slowly insert the fuel filler nozzle fully into the fuel system, and leave
the nozzle fully inserted until you are done pumping. Pump fuel as
normal.
