Warning (Continued)
.Keep children away from the
fuel pump and never let
children pump fuel.
.Fuel can spray out if the fuel
cap is opened too quickly.
This spray can happen if the
tank is nearly full, and is
more likely in hot weather.
Open the fuel cap slowly and
wait for any hiss noise to stop
then unscrew the cap all
the way.
The tethered fuel cap is behind a
hinged fuel door on the passenger
side of the vehicle. To open the fuel
filler door, lift the fuel door release
lever. The lever is on the floor, on
the left front side of the driver seat.
The fuel door is unlocked when the
vehicle is unlocked. Locking the
vehicle locks the fuel door.
To remove the fuel cap, turn it
slowly counterclockwise.
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 10-70.
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. SeeMalfunction
Indicator Lamp on page 5-12.
