The fuel tank filler door can be opened
from inside the vehicle with the fuel tank
filler door release lever located at the left
side of the driver’s seat.
3. Open the fuel tank filler pipe by slowly
turning the fuel tank filler cap counter-
clockwise.
4. While filling with fuel, hang the fuel tank
filler cap cord on the hook located on the
inside surface of the fuel tank filler door.

on correct handling of the fuel filler noz-
zle. Do not tilt the nozzle. Insert the noz-
zle in the fuel tank filler port as far as it
goes.

WARNING
 Since the fuel system may be under pres-
sure, remove the fuel tank filler cap
slowly. This relieves any pressure or vac-
uum that might have built up in the fuel
tank. If the fuel tank filler cap is venting
vapor or if you hear a hissing sound, wait
until the sound stops before removing the
fuel tank filler cap. Otherwise, fuel may
spray out, injuring you or others.
CAUTION
 Your vehicle can only be operated using
unleaded gasoline. Serious engine and cata-
lytic converter damage will result if leaded
gasoline is filled into these vehicles, and
consequently, this must never be attempted.
