While refueling, let the fuel cap hang by the tether
below the fuel
fill
opening.
To
remove the fuel cap, turn it slowly to the left
(counterclockwise). The fuel cap has a spring in it;
if
you let go of the cap too soon, it will spring back to
the right.
A
CAUTION:
If you get fuel on yourself and then something
ignites
it,
you could be badly burned. Fuel can
spray out on you
if
you open the fuel cap too
quickly. This spray can happen if your tank is
nearly full, and is more likely
in
hot weather.
Open the fuel cap slowly and wait for any
“hiss” noise to stop. Then unscrew the cap all
the way.
Be careful not to spill fuel. Clean fuel from painted
surfaces as soon
as
possible. See Cleaning the Outside
of
Your
Vehicle
on
page
5-83.
When filling the tank
do
not overfill by squeezing in much more fuel after the
pump shuts
off.
