A
Gasoline vapor is highly flammable. It burns violently, and that can
cause very bad injuries. Don’t smoke
if you’re near gasoline or
refueling your vehicle. Keep sparks, flames, and smoking materia\
ls
away from gasoline.
The cap is behind a hinged door on the left side of your ~icle.
Your optional fuel filler door release button is in the upper corner of the
driver’s side stepwell.
While refueling, hang the cap inside the fuel door.
To take
off the cap, turn it slowly to the left (counterclockwise).
I CAUTION
A
If you get gasoline on you and then something ignites it, you co\
uld
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.
