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.
If you gel ,Jel on yoursel,. ,nd then some.,,,ng
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
5-80.
When filling the tank
do not overfill by squeezing in much more fuel after the
pump shuts
off.
