Closing the fuel filler lid

fully until it “clicks” one time. This
indicates that the cap is securely
tightened.
2. Close the fuel filler lid and push it
in lightly making sure that it is
securely closed.
WARNING -
Refueling
• If pressurized fuel sprays out,
it can cover your clothes or
skin and thus subject you to
the risk of fire and burns.
Always remove the fuel cap
carefully and slowly. If the cap
is venting fuel or if you hear a
hissing sound, wait until the
condition stops before com-
pletely removing the cap.
• Do not "top off" after the noz-
zle automatically shuts off
when refueling.
• Tighten the cap until it clicks
one time,
otherwise the
Malfunction Indicator Light
will illuminate.
• Always check that the fuel cap
is installed securely to pre-
vent fuel spillage in the event
of an accident.
