9-38 Driving and Operating The tethered fuel cap is located
behind a hinged fuel door on the
driver side of the vehicle. On some
vehicles with Remote Keyless Entry,
the fuel door is locked and unlocked
when the vehicle doors are locked
and unlocked.
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. To avoid fuel contact on
the painted surface of the vehicle
when filling the fuel tank, place the
tethered cap on the fuel filler door.
Be careful not to spill fuel. Do not
top off or overfill the tank and wait a
few seconds after you have finished
pumping before removing the
nozzle. Clean fuel from painted
surfaces as soon as possible. See
Exterior Care on page 10 ‑ 72 .
When replacing the fuel cap, turn it
clockwise until it clicks. Make sure
the cap is fully installed. The
diagnostic system can determine if
the fuel cap has been left off or improperly installed. This would
allow fuel to evaporate into the
atmosphere. See Malfunction
Indicator Lamp on page 5 ‑ 14 .
{ WARNINGIf a fire starts while you are
refueling, do not remove the
nozzle. Shut off the flow of fuel by
shutting off the pump or by
notifying the station attendant.
Leave the area immediately.
Notice: If a new fuel cap is
needed, be sure to get the right
type of cap from your dealer. The
wrong type of fuel cap might not
fit properly, might cause the
malfunction indicator lamp to
light, and could damage the fuel
tank and emissions system. See
Malfunction Indicator Lamp on
page 5 ‑ 14 . Filling a Portable Fuel
Container
{ WARNINGFilling a portable fuel container
while it is in the vehicle can cause
fuel vapors that can ignite either
by static electricity or other
means. You or others could be
badly burned and the vehicle
could be damaged. Always: .
Use approved fuel
containers. .
Remove the container from
the vehicle, trunk, or pickup
bed before filling. .
Place the container on the
ground.

10-68 Vehicle Care 6. Connect the red positive (+)
cable to the positive (+) terminal
on the vehicle with the dead
battery. Use a remote
positive (+) terminal if the vehicle
has one.
7. Do not let the other end touch
metal. Connect it to the
positive (+) terminal of the good
battery. Use a remote
positive (+) terminal if the vehicle
has one.
8. Now connect the black
negative ( − ) cable to the
negative ( − ) terminal of the good
battery. Use a remote
negative ( − ) terminal if the
vehicle has one.
Do not let the other end touch
anything until the next step. The
other end of the negative ( − )
cable does not go to the dead
battery. It goes to a heavy,
unpainted metal engine part or
to a remote negative ( − ) terminal
on the vehicle with the dead
battery. 9. Connect the other end of the
negative ( − ) cable away from the
dead battery, but not near
engine parts that move. The
electrical connection is just as
good there, and the chance of
sparks getting back to the
battery is much less.
10. Now start the vehicle with the
good battery and run the
engine for a while.
11. Press the unlock symbol on the
remote keyless entry
transmitter to disarm your
security system, if equipped.
12. Try to start the vehicle that had
the dead battery. If it will not
start after a few tries, it
probably needs service. Notice: If the jumper cables are
connected or removed in the
wrong order, electrical shorting
may occur and damage the
vehicle. The repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.
Always connect and remove the
jumper cables in the correct
order, making sure that the
cables do not touch each other or
other metal.
Jumper Cable Removal
Reverse the sequence exactly when
removing the jumper cables.
