cellular phones. Keep sparks, ames, and
smoking materials away from fuel. Do not
leave the fuel pump unattended when

away from the fuel pump; never let
children pump fuel.The tethered fuel cap is located behind a hinged

To remove the fuel cap, turn it slowly
counterclockwise. The fuel cap has a spring in it; if
the cap is released too soon, it will spring back
to the right.
While refueling, let the fuel cap hang by the tether
below the fuel ll opening.
