A
CAUTION:
If
you get gasoline on yourself and then
something ignites it, you could be badly burned.
Gasoline can spray out on you if you open the
fuel filler cap too quickly. This spray can happen
if your
tank
is nearly full, and
is
more likely in
hot weather. Open the fuel filler cap slowly
and
wait for any
“hiss”
noise
to
stop. Then unscrew
the cap all the way.
Be careful not
to
spill gasoline.
Clean
gasoline from
painted surfaces as soon as possible. See “Cleaning the
Outside of Your Vehicle” in the Index.
When
you
put the cap back on,
turn
it to the
right
(clockwise) until you hear
a
clicking sound. Make
sure you
fully
install the cap. The diagnostic system
can determine if the fuel cap has been left
off
or
improperly installed. This would allow fuel to
evaporate into the atmosphere. See “Malfunction
Indicator Lamp” in the Index.
NOTICE:
If
you need a new cap, be sure to get the right
type. Your dealer can get one for you.
If
you get
the wrong type, it may not fit properly. This may
cause your malfunction indicator lamp
to
light
and your fuel
tank
and emissions system
may
be
damaged.
See
“Malfunction Indicator Lamp” in
the Index.
