While  refueling, hang 
the cap  inside  the  fuel 
door. 
To take off the  cap,  turn it slowly to the left  (counterclockwise).

A CAUTION: 
If you  get  gasoline  on  yourself  and then something ignites  it, you 
could  be badly burned.  Gasoline can spray  out on  you  if  you 
1 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. 
Be careful not to spill gasoline. Clean gasoline from painted  surfaces  as 
soon as possible. See “Cleaning the Outside  of  Your Vehicle” in the Index. 
When 
you put the  cap back on, turn it to the right until you hear a clicking 
noise. 
1 NOTICE: 
If you  need a new cap,  be sure t.0 get  the right  type.  Your  dealer 
can  get  one  for you. 
If you  get  the wrong  type, it may  not fit or 
have  proper  venting,  and your  fuel tank  and emissions  system 
might  be  damaged.
