cap about a quarter turn until you hear one

erly tightened.
WARNING!
•
Never have any smoking materials lit in or
near the vehicle when the fuel door is open or
the tank is being filled.
•
Never add fuel when the engine is running.
This is in violation of most state and federal
fire regulations and may cause the Malfunc-
tion Indicator Light (MIL) to turn on.
•
A fire may result if fuel is pumped into a por-
table container that is inside of a vehicle. You
could be burned. Always place fuel containers
on the ground while filling.
CAUTION!
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not
"top off" the fuel tank after filling.
