The cap is behind
a
hinged door on the right side of your
vehicle.
To
open the door, insert your finger into the
finger depression next to the fuel door.
While refueling, hang the tethered cap inside the
fuel door.
To remove the cap,
turn
it slowly
to
the left
(counterclockwise). The cap has a spring in it;
if
you let
go of the cap
too
soon, it will spring back to the right.
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 Iikely in
hot weather. Open the fuel filler cap slowly and
wait
for any 6'hisss' 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.
