Service and Maintenance
CAUTION
Fuel vapor is highly flammable.
Keep sparks, flames and smok-
ing materials away from fuel.
If you get gasoline on you and
then something ignites it, you
could be badly burned.
To avoid injuries to you and
others, read and follow all
instructions on the gas station
pump.
Turn off your engine before
refueling.

CAUTION
If you open the cap rapidly
while pressure inside the tank is
high, gasoline 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.
NOTICE
If you have to get a new cap, be
sure to get the right one. Other-
wise, the cap may not vent
properly, leading to serious fuel
tank and emissions system
damage. Your dealer knows the
correct cap for your vehicle.
CAUTION
• Never fill a portable fuel
container while it is in your
vehicle.
• Dispense gasoline only into
approved containers.
• Do not leave the fuel pump
unattended while refueling.
• Keep children away from the
fuel pump.
• Bring the fill nozzle in contact
with the inside of the fill
opening before operating the
nozzle.
Contact should be
maintained until the filling is
complete.
• Avoid answering or making
phone calls on your cellular
phone.
• Do not smoke while pumping
gasoline.
