FUEL SYSTEM LEAK
If you smell a persistent propane odor or hear a
continual hissing sound, there could be a propane
leak. If the propane is ignited, you or others could
be injured. Do not start the engine or drive the ve-
hicle. Have your vehicle towed to an OEM author-
ized service facility for service.
A slight odor of propane may be present for a few
moments after refueling your vehicle. This is normal.
You should not be able to smell propane at any oth-
er time. If you do, or if you hear a constant hissing
sound, the fuel system may have a leak.
If you smell propane or a constant hissing sound is
audible:
1) Park the vehicle in a well-ventilated area and ap-
ply the parking brake. Keep heat, sparks, and
flames away. Open all doors for ventilation.
Note: Do not lower your windows.
2) Turn the ignition to OFF.
Do not drive the vehicle until the leak is found and
repaired. The vehicle should be towed to an OEM
authorized service facility.
