FUEL FILLER LID AND CAP

WARNING
•
Fuel is extremely flammable and highly explo-
sive under certain conditions. You could be
burned or seriously injured if it is misused or
mishandled. Always stop the engine and do
not smoke or allow open flames or sparks
near the vehicle when refuelling.
•
Fuel may be under pressure. Turn the cap a
half of a turn, and wait for any "hissing" sound
to stop to prevent fuel from spraying out and
possibly causing personal injury. Then remove
the cap.
•
Use only an original equipment type fuel filler
cap as a replacement. It has a built-in safety
valve needed for proper operation of the fuel
system and emission control system. An in-
correct cap can result in a serious malfunc-
tion and possible injury.
