WARNING

Gasoline is extremely flammable and

highly explosive under certain condi-

tions. You could be burned or seriously

injured if it is misused or mishandled.

Always stop the engine and do not

smoke or allow open flames or sparks

near the vehicle when refueling.

Fuel may be under pressure. Turn the

cap a third of a turn, and wait for any

“hissing” sound to stop to prevent fuel

from spraying out and possibly causing

personal injury. Then remove the cap.

Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank

after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off

automatically. Continued refueling may

cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel

spray and possibly a fire.

Use only an original equipment type

fuel-filler cap as a replacement. It has a

built-in safety valve needed for proper

operation of the fuel system and emis-

sion control system. An incorrect cap

can result in a serious malfunction and

possible injury. It could also cause the

malfunction indicator light to come on.

Never pour fuel into the throttle body to

attempt to start your vehicle.
