WARNING:
o Make sure the floor mat is properly placed
on the floor carpet. If the floor mat slips
and interferes with the movement of the
pedals during driving, it may cause an
accident.

top of the anchored floor, otherwise the
additional mat may slide forward and
interfere with the movement of the ped-
als.B990A03Y-AATWhen using a floor mat on the front floor carpet,

WARNING:
o If you open the fuel filler cap during high
ambient temperatures, a slight "pres-
sure sound" may be heard. This is nor-
mal and not a cause for concern.
Whenever you open the fuel filler cap,
turn it slowly.
o Make sure the fuel filler cap is replaced
and securely seated after fueling. Failure
to replace or fully seat the fuel filler cap
will result in fuel vapors escaping into
the atmosphere and the MIL indicator
illuminating.
o Do not "TOP-OFF" after the first nozzle
shut off when refueling.
o Automotive fuels are flammable/explo-
sive materials. When refueling, please
note the following guidelines carefully.
o Before touching the fuel nozzle or fuel
filler cap, have one's hands in contact
with metal parts away from the filler neck
to discharge static electricity.
o Do not get back in the vehicle while
refueling. Do not operate anything that
can produce static electricity. Static elec-
tricity discharge can ignite fuel vapors
resulting in an explosion.
WARNING:
The trunk lid should always be kept com-
pletely closed while the vehicle is in motion. If
it is left open or ajar, poisonous exhaust gases
may enter the car resulting in serious illness or
death to the occupants. See additional warn-
ings concerning exhaust gases on page 2-2.

o When using a portable fuel container, be
sure to place the container on the ground
while refueling. Static electricity dis-
charge from the container can ignite fuel
vapors causing a fire. While starting re-
fueling contact should be maintained
until the filling is complete.
o Do not use cellular phones around a gas
station. The electric current or electronic
interference from cellular phones can
ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.
o When refueling, always turn the engine
off. Sparks by engine compartment elec-
trical equipment can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. After refueling, check to
make sure the fuel filler cap is securely
closed, and then start the engine.
o Do not smoke or try to light cigarettes
around a gas station. Automotive fuels
are flammable.
