The fuel tank cap can be unlocked by turning the key counterclockwise.To lock the fuel tank cap, turn it clock- wise until it locks into place. NOTE: If the fuel tank cap will not open because ice has formed around it, tap lightly on the cap to break the iceand release the cap. If necessary, spray around the cap with an ap- proved de-icer fluid (do not use ra-diator anti-freeze) or move the ve- hicle to a warm place and allow the ice to melt. HHR2036
- Do not get back in the vehicle
while refueling. Do not operateanything that can produce static electricity. Static electricity dis- charge can ignite fuel vapors re-sulting in an explosion.
- When using a portable fuel con-
tainer, be sure to place the con-tainer on the ground while refuel- ing. Static electricity discharge from the container can ignite fuelvapors causing a fire. While start- ing refueling, contact should be maintained until the filling is com-plete.
- Do not use cellular phones around
a gas station. The electric currentor electronic interference from cel- lular phones can ignite fuel va- pors causing a fire.
- When refueling, always turn the engine off. Sparks by engine com-partment electrical equipment canignite fuel vapors causing a fire. After refueling, check to make sure the fuel tank cap is securely closed,and then start the engine.
- Do not smoke or try to light ciga-
rettes around a gas station. Auto-motive fuels are flammable.
