A CAUTION:
Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly tightened wheel nuts can
cause the wheel to become loose and even come
off. This could
lead
to an accident. Be sure to use the correct wheel nuts. If you
have to replace them, be sure to get the right kind. Stop
somewhere
as soon as you can and have the nuts tightened with
a torque wrench to 140 N*m (100 ft. lbs.). I
Don’t try to put a wheel cover on your compact spare tire. It won’t fit.

release lever located
on the left side in the
trunk. Pull the lever
toward the rear
of your
vehicle to release the
fuel door.
To take off the cap, turn it slowly to the left (counterclockwise).
While refueling, hang the cap inside the fuel door.
A CAUTION:
If you get gasoline on you and then something ignites it, you
could be badly burned. Gasoline can spray out on you if you
open the fuel filler cap too quickly. This spray can happen if
your tank is nearly full, and is more likely in hot weather. Open
the fuel filler cap slowly and wait for any “hiss” noise to stop.
Then unscrew the cap all the way.
When you put the cap back on, turn it
to the right until you hear a
clicking noise.

driver’s door. It tells you the gross weight capacity
of your vehicle, called

FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS
The wiring circuits in your car are protected from short circuits by a
combination of fuses and circuit breakers. This greatly reduces the chance
of fires caused by electrical problems.
If you ever have a problem
on the road and don’t have a spare fuse, you
can “borrow” one of the correct value. Just pick some feature of your car
that you can get along without
-- like the radio or cigarette lighter -- and
use its fuse,
if it is of the value you need. Be sure to use the correct fuse.
Replace it as soon as you can. There
is a fuse removal tool provided on
the fuse panel cover.
