OPENING THE HOOD
• Pull the hood release lever located on the
instrument panel, below the steering
column.
• Raise the hood and locate the safety catch
lever, in the middle of the hood opening.
• Move the safety latch while lifting the
hood at the same time.
• Insert the support rod into the slot on the
hood.
• To close the hood, remove the support
rod and place it in the retaining clip, then
lower the hood slowly.
WARNING!
Be sure the hood is fully latched before driving your vehicle. If the hood is not fully latched,
it could open when the vehicle is in motion and block your vision. Failure to follow this
warning could result in serious injury or death.
ADDING FUEL
Fuel Filler Cap (Gas Cap)
• The gas cap is located behind the fuel
filler door on the left side of the vehicle. If
the gas cap is lost or damaged, be sure the
replacement cap is for use with this
vehicle.
• When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off,
the fuel tank is full.
• Tighten the gas cap until you hear a
“clicking” sound. This is an indication that
the gas cap is properly tightened. If not
properly tightened, the MIL (Malfunction
Indicator Light) may come on.
NOTE:
The driver’s side sliding door cannot be opened while the fuel door is open.
