While refueling, hang the fuel cap by the tether using
the hook located on the inside of the filler door.
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.
ou get fuel on yourself and then
son
’g
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
5-85.
When filling the tank
do not overfill by squeezing in much more fuel after the
pump shuts
off.
