Filling Your Tank
CAUTION:
Fuel vapor is highly flammable. It burns
violently, and that can cause very bad injuries.
Don't smoke if you're near gasoline or diesel fuel,
or if you're refueling your vehicle. Keep sparks,
flames and smoking materials away from
gasoline or diesel fuel.
The fuel cap can be on either or both sides of your
vehicle depending on option content.
To take off the cap, turn it slowly to the left
(counterclockwise).
CAUTION:
Gasoline Engine Vehicles: 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 ªhissº noise to stop.
Then unscrew the cap all the way.
When you put the cap back on, turn it to the right until
it is tight.
