• After the vehicle is washed or in a
rainstorm, be sure to wipe off any
water that is on the sunroof before
operating it.
Do not continue to move the
sunroof control lever after the
sunroof is fully opened, closed,
or tilted. Damage to the motor or

py the luggage compartment
of the vehicle at any time. If
the tailgate is partially or
totally latched and the person
is unable to get out, serious
injury or death could occur
due to lack of ventilation,
exhaust fumes and rapid heat
build-up, or because of expo-
sure to cold weather condi-
tions. The luggage compart-
ment is also a highly danger-
ous location in the event of a
crash because it is not a pro-
tected occupant space but is
a part of the vehicle’s crush
zone.
Your vehicle should be kept

Closing the fuel filler door
1. To install the fuel tank cap, turn it
clockwise until it “clicks” one time.
2. Close the fuel filler door until it is
latched securely.(Continued)When refuelling, always move
the shift lever to the P (Park)
position, set the parking
brake, and place the ignition
switch to the LOCK/OFF posi-
tion. Sparks produced by
electrical components related
to the engine can ignite fuel
vapours causing a fire.
When using an approved
portable fuel container, be sure
to place the container on the
ground prior to refuelling. Static
electricity discharge from the
container can ignite fuel
vapours causing a fire. Once
refuelling has begun, contact
between your bare hand and
the vehicle should be main-
tained until the filling is com-
plete.
Use only approved portable
plastic fuel containers designed
to carry and store petrol.
(Continued)
Petrol 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 service station.
Before refuelling, note the
location of the Emergency
Petrol Shut-Off, if available, at
the service station.
Before touching the fuel noz-
zle, you should eliminate the
potential build-up of static
electricity by touching a metal
part of the vehicle, a safe dis-
tance away from the fuel filler
neck, nozzle, or other gas
source, with your bare hand.

Do not use mobile phones
whilst refuelling. Electric cur-
rent and/or electronic interfer-
ence from mobile phones can
potentially ignite fuel vapours

Do not get back into a vehicle
once you have begun refu-
elling. You can generate a
build-up of static electricity by
touching, rubbing or sliding
against any item or fabric capa-
ble of producing static electric-
ity. Static electricity discharge
can ignite fuel vapours causing
a fire. If you must re-enter the
vehicle, you should once again
eliminate potentially danger-
ous static electricity discharge
by touching a metal part of the
