Refueling

Fuel filler door

Before filling the tank, shut off the
engine. If you do not, fuel cannot

flow into the tank and the "Service
Engine Soon" lamp may come on.

Press on the rear edge of the fuel filler
door to open and close it.

To unlock the fuel filler door if the
central locking system malfunctions,
refer to page

172

When handling fuels, comply with
all of the applicable safety precau-

tions and regulations pertaining to fuels.
Never carry spare fuel containers in
your vehicle. Whether empty or full,
these containers can leak, cause an
explosion, or lead to fire in the event of
a collision.

Simple and environmentally
friendly

Open the filler cap carefully to
prevent fuel from spraying out.

Fuel spray may cause injury.

Keep the filler cap in the bracket
attached to the fuel filler door.

When refueling, insert the filler nozzle
completely into the filler pipe. Pulling
the nozzle out of the pipe during refu-
eling

results in premature pump shutoff

and will reduce the effect of the vapor
recovery system on the pump.

The fuel tank is full, whenever the fuel
nozzle shuts off the first time, as is
specified for proper service.

Tank capacity: refer to page

Close the fuel cap carefully after
refueling until a "click" is heard.

While closing, be sure not to squeeze
the strap which is fastened to the cap.
A loose or missing cap will activate the
"Service Engine Soon" warning lamp.
