ADDING FUEL
The fuel filler cap (gas cap) is located behind
the fuel filler door, on the left side of the vehicle.
Open the fuel door and remove the fuel cap by
turning it counter-clockwise.
NOTE:
When removing the fuel filler cap, lay the
cap tether in the hook, located on the fuel
filler door.
CAUTION!
•
Damage to the fuel system or emissions
control system could result from using an
improper fuel tank filler tube cap.
•
A poorly fitting fuel filler cap could let
impurities into the fuel system.
•
A poorly fitting fuel filler cap may cause the
“Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)” 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.
WARNING!
•
Never have any smoking materials lit in or
near the vehicle when the gas cap is
removed or the tank is being filled.
•
Never add fuel to the vehicle when the
engine is running.
(Continued)
WARNING! (Continued)
•
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.
NOTE:
•
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 tightened properly. The
MIL in the instrument cluster may turn on
if the gas cap is not secured properly.
Make sure that the gas cap is tightened
each time the vehicle is refueled.
