turn the key one-quarter turn to the right, then
rotate the fuel cap to the left to remove.

neck and tighten to the right until at least three
clicks are heard.
CAUTION!
• Damage to the fuel system or emission
control system could result from using an
improper fuel tank filler tube cap (gas cap).
• A poorly fitting gas cap could let impurities
into the fuel system.
• A poorly fitting gas cap may cause the
"Malfunction Indicator Light" to turn on.
• To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not
"top off" the fuel tank after filling. When the
fuel nozzle "clicks" or shuts off, the fuel tank
is full.
NOTE:
When the fuel nozzle "clicks" or shuts off,
the fuel tank is full.

WARNING!
• The volatility of some gasoline may cause a
buildup of pressure in the fuel tank that may
increase while you drive. This pressure can
result in a spray of gasoline and/or vapors
when the cap is removed from a hot ve-
hicle. Removing the cap slowly allows the
pressure to vent and prevents fuel spray.
• Remove the fuel cap (gas cap) slowly to
prevent fuel spray from the filler neck which
may cause injury.
• Never have any smoking materials lit in or
near the vehicle when the fuel cap is re-
moved or the tank filled.
• Never add fuel to the vehicle when the
engine is running.
• A fire may result if gasoline is pumped into
a portable container that is inside of a
vehicle. You could be burned. Always place
gas containers on the ground while filling.
