3. Open the fuel tank filler pipe by slowly turning the cap
counterclockwise.4. To fill with fuel correctly depends mainly on correct han-
dling of the fuel filler nozzle. Do not tilt the nozzle. Insert
the nozzle in the tank port as far as it goes.
5. When the nozzle stops automatically, do not try to add
more fuel.
6. To close, turn the fuel tank filler pipe cap slowly clock-
wise until you hear clicking sounds, then gently push the
fuel tank filler door closed.A- Open
B- Close
WA R N I N G
!
Since the fuel system may be under pressure,
remove the fuel tank filler pipe cap slowly. This
relieves any pressure or vacuum that might have
built up in the fuel tank. If the cap is venting vapor
or if you hear a hissing sound, wait until it stops
before removing the cap. Otherwise, fuel may spray
out, injuring you or others.
CAUTION
!
Your vehicle can only be operated using unleaded
gasoline. Serious engine and catalytic converter
damage will result if leaded gasoline is filled into
these vehicles, and consequently, this must never be
attempted.
CAUTION
!
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top-
off” the fuel tank. Spilled fuel could discolor, stain,
or crack the vehicle’s paintwork. If fuel spills on the
paintwork, wipe it off with a soft cloth.
WA R N I N G
!
Make sure the fuel cap is securely closed. If the fuel
cap was loose, fuel could leak, resulting in a fire.

2 Seats and restraint systems
N00401600052
Your vehicle has seat belts and other features that help protect
you and your passengers in an accident.
Seat belts are the most important safety device. When worn
properly, seat belts can reduce the chance of serious injury or
death in various types of crashes. For added protection during a
severe frontal collision, your vehicle has a Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) with air bags for the driver and passen-
gers. The seats, head restraints, and door locks also are safety
equipment, which must be used correctly.Always check the following before you drive:

That everyone in your vehicle is properly wearing their
seat belt.

That infants and small children are properly secured in
appropriate child restraints in the rear seat.

That all doors are fully closed and locked.

That seatbacks are upright, with head restraints properly
adjusted.
Safety equipment cannot prevent injury or death in all motor
vehicle accidents. You can help reduce the risk of injury or
death, however, by following the instructions in this manual.
