you are refueling. Do not smoke if you are near
fuel or refueling your vehicle. Keep sparks,
flames and smoking materials away from fuel.
Do not leave the fuel pump unattended when
refueling your vehicle — this is against the law
in some places. Keep children away from the
fuel pump; never let children pump fuel.
The fuel filler cap is located behind a hinged door on
the passenger’s side of your vehicle. It is tethered to the
door to prevent loss while refueling. Make sure that
water, snow, and dirt are kept away from the filler cap
and filler pipe nozzle.
To remove the fuel cap, turn it slowly to the left
(counterclockwise). It will require about 1/2 of a turn
to remove the cap. The fuel cap has a spring in it; if you
let go of the cap too soon, it will spring back to the
right (clockwise).
