the vehicle.
Stop engine.
Do not allow anyone to remain seated
on the vehicle while filling.
Unscrew fuel tank cap counterclock-
wise to remove.
Insert the spout into the filler neck.

fuel reaches the bottom of filler neck.

and may overflow. Always wipe
off any fuel or oil spillage from the
vehicle.
