Closing the hood
1. Before closing the hood, check the fol-lowing:
ment must be correctly installed.
bustible material must be removed
from the engine compartment.
2. Return the support rod to its clip to prevent it from rattling.
3. Lower the hood until it is about 30 cm (1 ft.) above the closed position and let
it drop. Make sure that it locks into
place. The support rod must be inserted com-
pletely into the hole whenever you
inspect the engine compartment. This will
prevent the hood from falling and possi-
bly injuring you.
WARNING - Fire risk
Do not leave gloves, rags or any
other combustible material in the
engine compartment. Doing so may
cause a heat-induced fire.
WARNING - Unsecured
engine hood
Always double check to be sure
that the hood is firmly latched
before driving away. If it is not
latched, the hood could fly open

Features of your vehicle
Always check that the fuel cap is installed
securely to prevent fuel spillage in the
event of an accident.
WARNING - Fire/explosionrisk
Read and follow all warnings posted
at the gas station facility. Failure to
follow all warnings will result in
severe personal injury, severe burns
or death due to fire or explosion.
WARNING - Cell phonefires
Do not use cellular phones while
refueling. Electric current and/or
electronic interference from cellu-
lar phones can potentially ignite
fuel vapors causing a fire.
WARNING - Portable fuelcontainer
When using an approved portable
fuel container, be sure to place the
container on the ground prior to
refueling. Static electricity dis-
charge from the container can
ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.
Once refueling has begun, contact
with the vehicle should be main-
tained until the filling is complete.
Use only approved portable plastic
fuel containers designed to carry
and store gasoline.
WARNING - Static electricity
Before touching the fuel nozzle,
you should eliminate potentially
dangerous static electricity dis-
charge by touching another metal
part of the vehicle, a safe dis-
tance away from the fuel filler
neck, nozzle, or other gas source.
Do not get back into a vehicle once you have begun refueling since
you can generate static electricity
by touching, rubbing or sliding
against any item or fabric (poly-
ester, satin, nylon, etc.) capable of
producing static electricity. Static
electricity discharge can ignite
fuel vapors resulting in rapid burn-
ing. If you must re-enter the vehi-
cle, you should once again elimi-
nate potentially dangerous static
electricity discharge by touching a
metal part of the vehicle, away
from the fuel filler neck, nozzle or
other gasoline source.

alent specified for your vehicle. An incor-
rect fuel filler cap can result in a serious
malfunction of the fuel system or emis-
sion control system.
CAUTION- Exterior paint

faces of the vehicle. Any type of fuelspilled on painted surfaces maydamage the paint.
WARNING - Refueling& Vehicle fires
When refueling, always shut the

electrical components related to the
engine can ignite fuel vapors caus-
ing a fire. Once refueling is com-
plete, check to make sure the filler
