HOW TO REFUEL
The fuel tank is not equipped with a fuel-
filler cap. After opening the fuel-filler door,
insert the fuel pump nozzle directly into
the fuel-filler opening. When the fuel
pump nozzle is pulled out, the fuel-filler
opening will be sealed.
To refuel:
Be sure to insert the fuel pump nozzle
slowly into the fuel-filler opening as far as
it will go before fueling.
Never move the nozzle during refueling.
Pull out the nozzle approximately 5 sec-
onds after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off
automatically (initial shut-off).
Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-29
FUEL-FILLER DOOR

3-30Pre-driving checks and adjustments
Close the fuel-filler door after refueling.
If you need to refuel from a portable fuel
container, use the funnel supplied with
your vehicle. (See “When refueling from a
portable fuel container” (P.3-30).)
CAUTION
.Do not attempt to open the flaps
on the fuel-filler opening using
any tool other than the fuel pump
nozzle.
. This fuel-filler opening is only
conformable to normal fuel pump
nozzles at gas stations. Using a
nozzle with a small diameter may
damage the opening and the fuel
system.
. If fuel is spilled on the vehicle
body, flush it away with water to
avoid paint damage.
WARNING
.Gasoline is extremely flammable
and highly explosive under cer-
tain conditions. You could be
burned or seriously injured if it is
misused or mishandled. Always stop engine 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 automatically. Contin-
ued refueling may cause fuel
overflow, resulting in fuel spray
and possibly a fire.
. Never pour fuel into the throttle
body to attempt to start your
vehicle.
. Do not fill a portable fuel contain-
er 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 contain-
ers:
— Always place the container on
the ground when filling.
— Do not use electronic devices when filling.
— Keep the pump nozzle in con- tact with the container while
you are filling it.
— Use only approved portable fuel containers for flammable
liquid.

WHEN REFUELING FROM A PORTA-
BLE FUEL CONTAINER
If you need to refuel from a portable fuel
container, use the funnelstored in the
tool bag (located under the luggage
board).
Be sure to insert the funnel into the fuel-

filler opening slowly and fully. Insert the
nozzle of the portable fuel container into
the opening along the funnel and fill the
fuel tank.
After refueling, remove the funnel from
the fuel-filler opening. Wipe the funnel
clean and return it to the tool bag.
CAUTION
.Do not insert the nozzle of the
portable fuel container directly
into the fuel-filler opening. Doing
so may damage the opening and
the fuel system.
. Use only the funnel provided with
your vehicle. Otherwise, the fuel-
filler opening and the fuel system
may be damaged.
WARNING
.Do not adjust the steering wheel
while driving. You could lose con-
trol of your vehicle and cause an
accident.
. Do not adjust the steering wheel
any closer to you than is neces-
sary for proper steering opera-
tion and comfort. The driver’s air
bag inflates with great force. If
you are unrestrained, leaning for-
ward, 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 ser-
ious or fatal injuries from the air
bag if you are up against it when
it inflates. Always sit back against
the seatback and as far away as
practical from the steering wheel.
Always use the seat belts.
