FUEL FILLER CAP
The fuel filler cap is a ratcheting type. Tighten
the cap clockwise until ratcheting clicks are
heard.
Put the fuel filler cap on the cap holder while
refueling.
WARNING
I 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 refuel-
ing.
I Fuel may be under pressure. Turn the
cap one-half turn, and wait for any
hissing sound to stop to prevent fuel
from spraying out and possible per-
sonal injury. Then remove the cap.
I Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank
after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off
automatically.
Continued refueling may cause fuel
overflow, resulting in fuel spray and
possibly a fire.
I Use only a genuine fuel filler cap as a
replacement. It has a built-in safety
valve needed for proper operation of
the fuel system and emission control
system. An incorrect cap can result in
a serious malfunction and possible
injury.
I Never pour fuel into the throttle body
to attempt to start your vehicle.
CAUTION
I If fuel is spilled on the car body, flush
it away with water to avoid paint dam-
age.
I Tighten until the fuel filler cap clicks.
Failure to tighten the fuel filler cap
properly may cause the
