CAUTION!
Damage to the fuel system or emission control
system could result from using an improper fuel
tank filler cap (gas cap). A poorly fitting cap could let
impurities into the fuel system.
STARTING AND OPERATING 225
WARNING!
• Remove the fuel cap slowly to prevent fuel spray
from the filler neck which may cause injury.
• The volatility of some gasoline may cause a
buildup of pressure in the fuel tank which may
increase while you drive. This pressure can result
in a spray of gasoline and/or vapors when the cap
is removed from a hot vehicle. Removing the cap
slowly allows the pressure to vent and prevents
fuel spray.
• Never add fuel when the engine is running.
• Never have any smoking materials lit in or near
the vehicle when the fuel cap is removed or the
tank filled.
