Fuel filler door
Before filling the tank, shut off the
engine. If you do not, fuel cannot
flow into the tank and the "Service En-
gine Soon" warning lamp may come on,
refer to page
21.<
To open, press against the forward
edge.
To unlock the fuel filler door if the cen-
tral locking system malfunctions, refer
to page 182.
When handling fuels, comply with
all of the applicable safety precau-
tions and regulations posted at the fill-
ing station. Never carry spare fuel con-
tainers in your vehicle. Whether empty
or full, these containers can leak, cause
an explosion, or lead to fire in the event
of a
collision.<
Simple and environmentally
friendly
Open the filler cap carefully to
prevent fuel from spraying out.
Fuel spray may cause injury. Do not top
off. Topping off may cause fuel spill-
age.<
Keep the filler cap in the bracket at-
tached to the fuel filler door.
