CAUTION:
{
If you spill fuel and then something ignites it,
you could be badly burned. Fuel can spray out
on you if you open the fuel cap too quickly. This
spray can happen if your tank is nearly full, and
is more likely in hot weather. Open the fuel cap
slowly and wait for any "hiss" noise to stop.
Then unscrew the cap all the way.
Be careful not to spill fuel. Don't top off or overfill your
tank and wait a few seconds after you've finished
pumping before you remove the nozzle. Clean any
spilled fuel from painted surfaces as soon as possible.
See Cleaning the Outside of Your Vehicle on
page 5-107.
When you put the fuel cap back on, turn it to the
right (clockwise) until you hear a clicking sound. It will
require more effort to turn the fuel cap on the last turn as
you tighten it. Make sure you fully install the cap. The
diagnostic system can determine if the fuel cap has
been left off or improperly installed. this would allow fuel
to evaporate into the atmosphere. See Malfunction
Indicator Lamp on page 3-51.
CAUTION:
{
If a fire starts while you are refueling, do not
remove the nozzle. Shut off the flow of fuel by
shutting off the pump or by notifying the
station attendant. Leave the area immediately.
Notice: If you need a new fuel cap, be sure to get
the right type. Your dealer can get one for you.
If you get the wrong type, it may not fit properly.
This may cause your malfunction indicator lamp to
light and may damage your fuel tank and emissions
system. See Malfunction Indicator Lamp on
page 3-51.
