Use of Additives
With the exception of gas line antifreeze during winter months, do not add solvents, thickeners, or other
store-bought additives to your car's fuel, cooling, or lubricating systems. Overuse may damage your
engine, and some of these additives contain organically volatile chemicals. Do not needlessly expose
yourself to these chemicals.
pg. 90 Refueling
Refueling
The fuel tank holds approximately:
Front wheel drive, non-turbo models - 18.5 US gal. (70 liters)
All turbo models - 18 US gal. (68 liters)
with sufficient volume left over to accommodate possible expansion of the fuel in hot weather. Be aware
that the "usable" tank capacity will be somewhat less than the specified maximum. When the fuel level
is low, such factors as ambient temperature, the fuel's "Reid vapor pressure" characteristics, and terrain
can affect the fuel pump's ability to supply the engine with an adequate supply of fuel. Therefore, it is
advisable to refuel as soon as possible when the needle nears the red zone, or when the fuel warning
light comes on.
Fuel filler door
Press the button on the light switch panel (see illustration on
page 35) when the car is at a standstill to
unlock the fuel filler door. Please note that the fuel filler door will remain unlocked until the car begins
to move forward. An audible click will be heard when the fuel filler door relocks.
If you intend to leave your car while it is being refueled, this features enables you to lock the door/
tailgate while leaving the fuel filler door unlocked.
