To open the trunk from the inside, rotate the
illuminated lever until the lock releases and
push up on the trunk lid. The release lever is
made of a material that glows in the dark
after a brief exposure to ambient light.
The handle is located inside the trunk com-
partment on the trunk lock at the center of
the trunk lid.
OPENER OPERATION
The fuel filler lid opener lever is located on
the outside of the driver's seat. To open the
fuel filler lid, pull the opener lever up. To
lock, close the fuel filler lid securely.
FUEL FILLER CAP
The fuel filler cap is a ratcheting type.
Tighten the cap clockwise until ratcheting
clicks are heard.
WARNING
cGasoline is extremely flammable and
highly explosive under certain con-
ditions. You could be burned or se-
riously injured if it is misused or
mishandled. Always stop the engine
and do not smoke or allow open
flames or sparks near the vehicle
when refueling.
c
Fuel may be under pressure. Turn the
cap one-half turn, and wait for any
``hissing'' sound to stop to prevent
fuel from spraying out and possible
personal injury. Then remove the cap.
cDo not attempt to top off the fuel
tank after the fuel pump nozzle shuts
off automatically. Continued refuel-
ing may cause fuel overflow, result-
ing in fuel spray and possibly fire.
cUse only an original equipment type
fuel filler cap as a replacement. It has
a built-in safety valve needed for
proper operation of the fuel system
and emission control system. An in-
correct cap can result in a serious
malfunction and possible injury. It
could also cause the malfunction
indicator lamp to come on.

TELESCOPIC OPERATION
Push the lever down and adjust the steering
wheel forward or backward to the desired
position.
Pull the lock lever up firmly to lock the
steering wheel in place.
WARNING
Do not adjust the steering wheel any
closer to you than is necessary for
proper steering operation and comfort.
The driver's air bag inflates with great
force. If you are unrestrained, leaning
forward, sitting sideways or out of po-
sition in any way, you are at greater risk
of injury or death in a crash. You may
also receive serious or fatal injuries
from the air bag if you are up against it
when it inflates. Always sit back
against the seatback and as far away as
practical from the steering wheel. Al-
ways use the seat belts.
CAUTION
Do not store the main sun visor before
storing the extension sun visor.VANITY MIRRORS
To access the vanity mirror, pull the sun
visor down and flip open the mirror cover.
Some vanity mirrors are illuminated and
turn on when the mirror cover is opened.
