Filling the Fuel Tank
P P u u l l l l
1. Because the fuel fill cap is on the
driver's side of the vehicle, park
with that side closest to the
service station pumps.
2. Open the fuel fill door by pulling
on the handle located under the
lower left corner of the dashboard.
Gasoline is highly flammable
and explosive. You can be
burned or seriously injured
when handling fuel.
Stop the engine and keep
heat, sparks, and flame away.
Handle fuel only outdoors.
Wipe up spills immediately.

3. Remove the fuel fill cap slowly.
You may hear a hissing sound as
pressure inside the tank escapes.
4. Stop filling the tank after the fuel
nozzle automatically clicks off. Do
not try to ''top off'' the tank, leave
some room for the fuel to expand
with temperature changes.
Your vehicle has an on-board
refueling vapor recovery system to
help keep fuel vapors from going
into the atmosphere. If the fuel
nozzle keeps clicking off even
though the tank is not full, there
may be a problem with this system.
Consult your dealer.
