Owner’s Guide
Early production fuel tanks can be identified by the location of
the fuel cap which is located in the middle of the top of the
tank as shown.
Early production fuel tanks require enough space for the
expansion of the gasoline. Leave at least 1-inch (2.5 cm) of
space below the bottom of the filler neck.
Late Production Fuel Tank
Late production fuel tanks can be identified by the location of
the fuel cap which is located in the rear of the top of the tank
as shown.
Late production fuel tanks are designed to allow for fuel
expansion and do NOT require space below bottom of filler
neck.
BATTERY
Heavy use of accessories drains the battery which can leave insufficient reserve to start the vehicle.
The vehicle uses a starter/generator to start the engine and charge the battery. The engine will not idle; so the battery
does not charge while the vehicle is stopped. Do not operate lights and other accessory items excessively while the vehi-
cle is stopped.
The generator can supply 35 amps; so operation of all accessories can cause the discharge of the battery even if the
engine is running and the generator is operating. Discharging the battery is known as deep cycling. The battery is not a
deep cycle model. It is a starting battery. Multiple deep cycling causes early failure of the battery.
If the battery has discharged, charge it with a 12-volt charger that is rated at 10 amps or less and according to instruc-
tions supplied by the manufacturer of the charger.
LABELS AND PICTOGRAMS
The vehicle can have labels with pictograms to supply information or warnings. Refer to the SAFETY section of this man-
ual for the description of the labels.
