2- Close
WARNING
 Since the fuel system may be under pres-
sure, remove the fuel tank filler cap
slowly. This relieves any pressure or vac-
uum that might have built up in the fuel
tank. If the cap is venting vapor or if you
hear a hissing sound, wait until the sound
stops before removing the cap. Otherwise,
fuel may spray out, injuring you or others.
NOTE
 While filling with fuel, hang the fuel cap on
the hook (A) located on the inside surface of
the fuel tank filler door.
5. Fueling correctly depends mainly on cor-
rect handling of the fuel filler nozzle. Do
not tilt the nozzle. Insert the nozzle in the
fuel tank filler port as far as it goes.
CAUTION
 Never press the pin (B) during refueling.
Doing so can cause the fuel to overflow from
the fuel filler.
