WARNING!

Remove the fuel cap (gas cap) slowly to prevent

fuel spray from the filler neck which may cause
injury.

The volatility of some gasoline may cause a

buildup of pressure in the fuel tank that may
increase while you drive. This pressure can result
in a spray of gasoline and/or vapors when the cap
is removed from a hot vehicle. Removing the cap
slowly allows the pressure to vent and prevents
fuel spray.

Never have any smoking materials lit in or near

the vehicle when the fuel cap is removed or the
tank filled.

Never add fuel to the vehicle when the engine is

running.

WARNING!

A fire may result if gasoline is pumped into a
portable container that is inside of a vehicle. You
could be burned. Always place gas containers on the
ground while filling.

Locking Fuel Filler Cap (Gas Cap) — If Equipped

• Turn the engine off.
• Insert the ignition key into the fuel cap, and turn the

key to the right to unlock the fuel cap. Rotate the fuel
cap to the left to remove.

• To replace the cap, insert it into the filler neck and

tighten the cap about 1/4 turn until you hear two
clicks. This is an indication that the cap is properly
tightened.
