Filling Your Tank
{CAUTION:
Fuel vapor burns violently and a fuel re can
cause bad injuries. To help avoid injuries to
you and others, read and follow all the
instructions on the pump island. Turn off your
engine when you are refueling. Do not smoke
if you are near fuel or refueling your vehicle.
Keep sparks, ames and smoking materials
away from fuel. Do not leave the fuel pump
unattended when refueling your vehicle — this
is against the law in some places. Keep
children away from the fuel pump; never let
children pump fuel.The tethered fuel cap is
located behind a hinged
fuel door on the driver’s
side of the vehicle.
To remove the fuel cap, turn it slowly to the left
(counterclockwise). The fuel cap has a spring in it;
if the cap is released too soon, it will spring back to
the right.

you have the damaged tire inspected and repaired.
9. Drive the vehicle immediately to distribute the tire
sealant evenly inside the tire.
10. After driving for 10 minutes, recheck the tire
pressure. If the tire pressure is 19 psi (131 kPa) or
more, inate the tire to the standard operating
pressure as shown on the Certication/Tire label
located on the edge of the driver’s door.
