Refueling
Fuel filler door
Before filling the tank, shut off the
engine. If you do not, fuel cannot
be filled into the tank and the "Check
Engine" warning lamp will come on.<
To open the filler door, press on the
front edge.
To unlock the fuel filler door if the cen-
tral locking system malfunctions, refer
to page 157.
When handling fuels, comply with
all of the applicable safety precau-
tions and regulations posted at the fill-
ing station. Never carry spare fuel con-
tainers in your vehicle. Whether empty
or full, these containers can leak, cause
an explosion, or lead to fire in the event
of a collision.<

Open the filler cap carefully to
prevent fuel from spraying out.
Fuel spray may cause injury. Do not top

tached to the fuel filler door.

When refueling, insert the filler nozzle
completely into the filler pipe. Pulling
the nozzle out of the pipe during refuel-
ing
> results in premature pump shutoff
> and will reduce the effect of the vapor
recovery system on the pump.
Close the fuel cap carefully after
refueling. A loose or missing cap
will activate the Check Engine lamp.<
