The fuel tank must be filled with
the
engine off.
-
Open
the fuel filler flap.
-
Insert
the key, then turn it a quarter
turn.
-
Remove
the cap and hook it onto
the clip located on the inside of the

the flap has been closed, the
sliding
side door may jam, push the
door
to close it then open it.

reached,
this
warning
lamp
comes
on. A
label affixed to the inside of the flap
reminds
you of the type of fuel to be
used.

for
it to be registered by the fuel gauge.
When
the fuel filler cap is opened,
there
may be a slight inrush of air.
