If the pressure in the fuel tank is high, a
message “PLEASE WAIT NOW OPENING”
will appear on the multi−information dis-
play. It may take up to 10 seconds if the
internal pressure is high. The segments in
the display increase to indicate the time
left. The segments in the display decrease
to indicate the time left.
When the pressure lowers, a message
“REFUEL READY” will appear and the fuel
filler door will o pen.
If the fuel filler door does not o pen, the
opener may have a malfunction. For de-
tails, see “—If the door opener is not
actuated” on page 44 in this Section.
CAUTION

the cap quickly. In hot weather, fuel
under pressure could cause injury by
spraying out of the filler neck if the
cap is suddenly removed.

denly removed.
