CAUTION!
Damage to the fuel system or emissions control
system could result from using an improper fuel tank
filler tube cap (gas cap). A poorly fitting cap could let
impurities into the fuel system.
WARNING!
• Never allow any lit smoking materials near the
vehicle while removing the cap or filling the tank.
• Never add fuel to the vehicle when the engine is
running.
NOTE: If fuel is poured from a portable container, the
container should have a flexible nozzle long enough to
extend into the fuel filler tube.
CAUTION!
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not "top
off" the fuel tank after filling.
NOTE: When the fuel nozzle "clicks" or shuts off, the
fuel tank is full.
NOTE: Tighten the gas cap until you hear a "clicking"
sound. This is an indication that the gas cap is properly
tightened. Make sure that the gas cap is tightened each
time the vehicle is refueled.
WARNING!
A fire may result if gasoline is pumped into a
portable container that is inside of a vehicle or on a
truck bed. You could be burned. Always place gas
containers on the ground while filling.
