While refueling, hang the cap inside the
fuel door.
To take off the cap, turn it slowly to the
left (counterclockwise).
A
If you get gasoline on you and
then something ignites it, you
could be badly burned. Gasoline
can spray out
on
you if you open
the fuel filler cap too quickly. This
spray can happen if your t a n k is
nearly full, and is more likely in
hot weather. Open the fuel filler
cap slowly and wait for any
"hiss" noise to stop. Then
unscrew the cap all the way.
When you put the cap back on,
turn it to
the right until you hear a clicking noise.
If you
need a new cap,
be
sure to
get the right type. Your dealer can
get one for
you. If
you get the
wrong type, it may not fit or have
proper venting, and your fuel tank
and emissions system might be
damaged.
