misused or mishandled. Always stop the en-
gine and do not smoke or allow open flames
or sparks near the vehicle when refueling.
•Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank after
the fuel pump nozzle shuts off automati-
cally. Continued refueling may cause fuel
overflow, resulting in fuel spray and possi-
bly a fire.
•Use only an original equipment type fuel-
filler cap as a replacement. It has a built-in
safety valve needed for proper operation of
the fuel system and emission control sys-
tem. An incorrect cap can result in a serious
malfunction and possible injury.

•Do not fill a portable fuel container in the
vehicle or trailer. Static electricity can cause
an explosion of flammable liquid, vapor or
gas in any vehicle or trailer. To reduce the
risk of serious injury or death when filling
portable fuel containers:– Always place the container on the
ground when filling.
– Do not use electronic devices when fill-
ing.
– Keep the pump nozzle in contact with the
container while you are filling it.
– Use only approved portable fuel contain-
ers for flammable liquid.
CAUTION
•Do not use E-15 or E-85 fuel in your vehicle.
For additional information, refer to Fuel
Recommendation in theTechnical and
consumer information section of this
manual.
•If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body, flush it
away with water to avoid paint damage.
WARNING
•Do not adjust the steering wheel while driv-
ing. You could lose control of your vehicle
and cause an accident.
•Do not adjust the steering wheel any closer
to you than is necessary for proper steering
operation and comfort. The driver’s air bag
inflates with great force. If you are unre-
strained, leaning forward, sitting sideways
or out of position in any way, you are at
greater risk of injury or death in a crash. You
may also receive serious or fatal injuries
from the air bag if you are up against it when
it inflates. Always sit back against the seat-
back and as far away as practical from the
steering wheel. Always use the seat belts. Release the lock lever
1as illustrated and
adjust the steering wheel to the desired posi-
tion (up or down
2, forwards or backwards

tion to lock the steering wheel in place.
