Refueling
Always close the door and windows
when refueling. If a fire occurs with
the doors or windows open, the
flames may spread into cabin.
Do not spill fuel on the vehicle while
refueling. It may cause discoloration,
stains, or paint damage.
Do not use any non-genuine
fuel-filler cap. Use of a non-genuine
fuel-filler cap may lead to a
malfunction in the fuel system or
emission system.
(U.S.A. and Canada)
It may also cause the check engine
light in the instrument cluster to
illuminate.
When using an automatic car wash
or a high water pressure car wash,
make sure that the fuel-filler lid is
closed and lock the doors.
Otherwise, the fuel-filler lid may
open unexpectedly and become
damaged.
(U.S.A. and Canada)
If the check fuel-filler cap warning
light illuminates, the fuel-filler cap
may not be properly installed. If the
warning light illuminates, park your
vehicle safely off the right-of-way,
remove the fuel-filler cap and
reinstall it correctly. After the cap has
been correctly installed, the fuel-filler
cap warning light may continue to
illuminate until a number of driving
cycles have been completed. A drive
cycle consists of starting the engine
(after four or more hours with the
engine off) and driving the vehicle on
city and highway roads. Continuing
to drive with the check fuel-filler cap
warning light illuminated could cause
the check engine light to illuminate
as well.
