Filling the Tank

The cap is on the left side of your
vehicle.
CAUTION
Static electricity can ignite
gasoline vapor. You can be
burned and your vehicle
damaged.
Before you open the fuel filler
cap, touch a metal part on your
vehicle to discharge the static
electricity in your body.
CAUTION
If you open the cap rapidly
while pressure inside the tank is
high, fuel may spray out from
the tank. Before you fully open
the cap, turn it slightly to
release the pressure from inside
the tank.
If you hear a "hiss", wait for that
to stop. The "hiss" means there
is still some pressure left. Then,
remove the cap.
Section 4
Remove the fuel filler cap by turn-
ing it slowly counter-clockwise.
Replace it by turning it clockwise.
When you put the cap back on,
continue to turn it clockwise until
you hear a clicking noise.
If the fuel cap is not installed
properly, the FUEL CAP message
will appear on the Driver Informa-
tion Center display. See "Driver
Information Center Messages" in
Section 1.
If you continue to drive with a
loose fuel cap, fuel may evaporate
into the atmosphere. If this
happens the malfunction indicator
light may come on.
Check the fuel cap to be sure that
it is properly installed.
