Grasp the support rod in the area
wrapped in rubber. The rubber
will help prevent you from being
burned by hot metal when the
engine is hot.
The support rod must be inserted
completely into the hole provided
whenever you inspect the engine
compartment. This will prevent
the hood from falling and possi-
bly injuring you.

Closing the fuel filler door
1. To install the fuel tank cap, turn itclockwise until it "clicks" one time.
2. Close the fuel filler door until it is latched securely.
Gasoline is highly flammable and
explosive. Failure to follow these
guidelines may result in SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH:
Read and follow all warnings
posted at the gas station.
Before refueling, note the loca-
tion of the Emergency Gasoline
Shut-Off, if available, at the gas
station.
Before touching the fuel nozzle,
you should eliminate the poten-
tial build-up of static electricity
by touching a metal part of the
vehicle, a safe distance away
from the fuel filler neck, nozzle, or
other gas source, with your bare
hand. (Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
Do not use cellular phones while
refueling. Electric current and/or
electronic interference from cel-
lular phones can potentially
ignite fuel vapors and cause a
fire.
Do not get back into a vehicle
once you have begun refueling.
You can generate a build-up of
static electricity by touching, rub-
bing or sliding against any item
or fabric capable of producing
static electricity. Static electricity
discharge can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. If you must re-
enter the vehicle, you should
once again eliminate potentially
dangerous static electricity dis-
charge by touching a metal part
of the vehicle, away from the fuel
filler neck, nozzle or other gaso-
line source, with your bare hand.
When using an approved
portable fuel container, be sure to
place the container on the
ground prior to refueling. Static
electricity discharge from the
container can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire.(Continued)
(Continued)Once refueling has begun, con-
tact between your bare hand and
the vehicle should be maintained
until the filling is complete.
Use only approved portable plastic
fuel containers designed to carry
and store gasoline.
When refueling, always move the
shift lever to the P (Park) posi-
tion, set the parking brake, and
place the ignition switch to the
LOCK/OFF position. Sparks pro-
duced by electrical components
related to the engine can ignite
fuel vapors causing a fire.
Do not use matches or a lighter
and do not smoke or leave a lit
cigarette in your vehicle while at
a gas station, especially during
refueling.
Do not over-fill or top-off your
vehicle tank, which can cause
gasoline spillage. (Continued)

Dual-diagonal braking system
Your vehicle is equipped with dual-diago-
nal braking systems. This means you still

ing, more than normal pedal travel and
greater pedal pressure is required to stop
the vehicle. Also, the vehicle will not stop in as short
a distance with only a portion of the
brake system working.
