Warning (Continued)
Fuel can spray out if the fuel
cap is opened too quickly.
This spray can happen if the
tank is nearly full, and is
more likely in hot weather.

cap all the way.
The fuel cap is behind a hinged fuel
door on the driver side of the

to the right.
While refueling, hang the fuel cap
from the hook on the fuel door.
