FUEL FILLER LID
WARNING
- Refueling
If pressurized fuel sprays out, it can cover your clothes or skin
and thus subject you to the risk
of fire and burns. Always remove
the fuel cap carefully and slowly.
If the cap is venting fuel or if you
hear a hissing sound, wait until
the condition stops before com-
pletely removing the cap.
Do not "top off" after the nozzle automatically shuts off whenrefueling.
Always check that the fuel cap is installed securely to prevent fuel
spillage in the event of an acci-dent.

Features of your vehicle
(Continued)Use only approved portable plas-
tic fuel containers designed to
carry and store gasoline.
Do not use cellular phones while refueling. Electric current and/or
electronic interference from cel-
lular phones can potentially
ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.
When refueling, always shut the engine off. Sparks produced byelectrical components related to
the engine can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. Once refueling is
complete, check to make sure thefiller cap and filler door are
securely closed, before starting
the engine.
DO NOT use matches or a lighter and DO NOT SMOKE or leave a lit
cigarette in your vehicle while at
a gas station especially during
refueling. Automotive fuel is
highly flammable and can, when
ignited, result in fire.
(Continued)(Continued)
Do not get back into a vehicleonce you have begun refueling
since you can generate static
electricity by touching, rubbing
or sliding against any item or fab-
ric (polyester, satin, nylon, etc.)
capable of producing static elec-
tricity. Static electricity discharge
can ignite fuel vapors resulting in
rapid burning. If you must re-
enter the vehicle, you should
once again eliminate potentially
dangerous static electricity dis-
charge by touching a metal part
of the vehicle, away from the fuel
filler neck, nozzle or other gaso-
line source.
When using an approved portable fuel container, be sure toplace the container on the
ground prior to refueling. Static
electricity discharge from the
container can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. Once refueling has
begun, contact with the vehicleshould be maintained until the
filling is complete.
(Continued)WARNING - Refueling dan-
gers
Automotive fuels are flammable
materials. When refueling, please
note the following guidelines care-
fully. Failure to follow these guide-
lines may result in severe personal
injury, severe burns or death by fire
or explosion.
Read and follow all warning at the gas station facility.
Before refueling note the location of the Emergency Gasoline Shut-
Off, if available, at the gas station
facility.
Before touching the fuel nozzle, you should eliminate potentially
dangerous static electricity dis-
charge by touching another metal
part of the vehicle, a safe dis-
tance away from the fuel filler
neck, nozzle, or other gas source.

Inside rearview mirror
Adjust the rearview mirror so that the
center view through the rear window is
seen. Make this adjustment before you
start driving.
Day/night rearview mirror (if equipped)
Make this adjustment before you start
driving and while the day/night lever is in
the day position.
Pull the day/night lever toward you to reduce glare from the headlights of the
vehicles behind you during night driving.
Remember that you lose some rearviewclarity in the night position.
Electrochromic mirror (ECM)
(if equipped)
The electric rearview mirror automatical- ly controls the glare from the headlights
of the car behind you in nighttime or low
light driving conditions. The sensormounted in the mirror senses the light
level around the vehicle, and automati-cally controls the headlight glare from
vehicles behind you.
When the engine is running, the glare is
automatically controlled by the sensor
mounted in the rearview mirror.
Whenever the shift lever is shifted into
reverse, the mirror will automatically go
to the brightest setting in order to
improve the drivers view behind the vehi-
cle.

The tachometer pointer may move slight-
ly when the ignition switch is in ON posi-
tion with the engine OFF. This movement
is normal and will not affect the accuracy
of the tachometer once the engine is run-ning.
Engine temperature gauge
This gauge shows the temperature of the
engine coolant when the ignition switch
is ON. The gauge is supplemented by a
Engine coolant temperature warninglight, which illuminates when the engine
is overheating.
Do not continue driving with an overheat-
ed engine. If your vehicle overheats, refer
to “If the engine overheats” in section 6.
CAUTION
If the gauge shows beyond the nor-
mal range area toward the “130”
position, it indicates overheating that may damage the engine.
WARNING
Never remove the radiator cap
when the engine is hot. The enginecoolant is under pressure and
could cause severe burns. Wait
until the engine is cool before
adding coolant to the reservoir.
CAUTION
Do not operate the engine within the tachometer's RED ZONE.
This may cause severe engine dam-age.
