Before Driving
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 car 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.
