OPENING THE FUEL-FILLER DOOR
To open the fuel-filler door, push the right
side of the fuel-filler door to release.
WARNING
• Gasoline is extremely flammable and
highly explosive under certain condi-
tions. You could be burned or seri-
ously injured if it is misused or mis-
handled. Always stop the 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 af ter the fuel pump nozzle
shuts off automatically. Continued
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 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 filling.
– Keep the pump nozzle in contact
with the container while you are
filling it.
– Use only approved portable fuel
containers for flammable liquid.
CAUTION
• Do not use a fuel containing more
than 15% ethanol in your vehicle. For
additional information, see “Fuel rec-
ommendation” (P. 11-10).
•
For additional information, see “Mal-
function Indicator Light (MIL)” (P. 2-19).
• 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 driving. 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 com-
fort. The driver's air bag inflates with
great force. If you are unrestrained,
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. Al-
ways sit back against the seatback
and as far away as practical from the
steering wheel. Always use the seat
belts.

AUTOMATIC OPERATION (if so
equipped)
Tilt and telescopic operation
To adjust the steering wheel move the
switch
O1in the following directions:
• Adjust the steering wheel up or down in direction
O2to the desired tilt position.

CAUTION
For vehicles with memory seat: Failure
to reset the tilt and telescoping func-
tions of the steering wheel, af ter the
vehicle’s battery has been discharged,
may prevent the steering wheel posi-
tion from being adjusted.
For vehicles with memory seat: Both the tilt
and telescopic steering operation must be
reset af ter the vehicle’s battery has been
discharged in order to prevent the tilt and
telescopic operation from locking in one
position. When the battery has been re-
charged or replaced, perform the following:
• For tilt operation: Adjust the switch
O1so
the steering wheel moves to the highest
position
O2that can be reached.
• For telescopic operation: Adjust the switch
O1so the steering wheel moves to
the most forward and backward position
O3that can be reached.
Performing these operations resets the
range of the steering wheel’s tilt and tele-
scopic function.
Entry/Exit function (if so
equipped)
The memory seat will make the steering
wheel move up automatically when the
driver's door is opened and the ignition
switch is in the LOCK position. This lets the
driver get into and out of the seat more
easily. The steering wheel moves back into
position when the driver's door is closed
and the ignition switch is pushed.
For additional information, see “Memory
seat” (P. 3-36).
