Located on the console.
Key-operated, 3-position switch: OFF, ON
with lights and ON without lights.
IGNITION SWITCH
1. OFF
2. ON "with lights"
3. ON "without lights"
Insert key in switch and turn to the desired
position. To remove key, turn key to OFF then
pull it out.
NOTE: Place ignition switch to ON "without
light" position to close the headlamp.
The ON with lights position, turns on all lights
with either the engine running or not. Remem-
ber that having the lights on without the en-
gine running discharges the battery. Always
turn ignition to OFF after engine has been
stopped.
NOTE: While engine can be stopped by turn-
ing ignition key OFF, we recommend the en-
gine be stopped by the engine stop switch.
Digitally Encoded Security System
(DESS)
The ignition key specifically contains an elec-
tronic circuit that gives it a unique electronic
serial number.
This ignition key cannot be used on another
vehicle and conversely, the one from another
vehicle cannot be used on your vehicle ex-
cept if it was programmed this way.
However, the DESS brings a great flexibility.
You can buy additional ignition keys and have
them programmed for your vehicle.

10) Fuel Tank Cap

The fuel tank cap is located on the left side of
the rear fender.
CAUTION: Never place anything over fuel
tank cap because the vent hole on the top of
fuel tank cap can be blocked and the engine
could misfire.
Unscrew counterclockwise and remove cap
to allow fuel tank filling then fully tighten clock-
wise.
WARNING
Always stop engine before refueling.
Open cap slowly. If a differential pressure
condition is noticed (whistling sound heard
when loosening fuel tank cap) have vehi-
cle inspected and/or repaired before fur-
ther operation. Fuel is flammable and ex-
plosive under certain conditions. Never
use an open flame to check fuel level. Nev-
er smoke or allow flame or spark in vicinity.
Always work in a well-ventilated area.
Never top up the fuel tank before placing
the vehicle in a warm area. As tempera-
ture increases, fuel expands and may
overflow. Always wipe off any fuel spillage
from the vehicle.
