2. Remove the fuel cap by rotating it counter-
clockwise.

3. Fully insert the gasoline nozzle into the filler
pipe. Fill the vehicle with fuel.
4. When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the
fuel tank is full. Wait five seconds before
removing the fuel nozzle to allow excess fuel to
drain from nozzle.
5. Remove gasoline nozzle, reinstall fuel cap and
close the fuel filler door.
NOTE:
When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the
fuel tank is full.
Tighten the fuel filler cap about a quarter turn
until you hear one click. This is an indication that
the cap is properly tightened.
If the fuel filler cap is not tightened properly, the
MIL will come on. Be sure the cap is tightened
every time the vehicle is refueled.
WARNING!
Never have any smoking materials lit in or
near the vehicle when the fuel door is open or
the tank is being filled.
Never add fuel when the engine is running.
This is in violation of most state and federal
fire regulations and may cause the Malfunc-
tion Indicator Light (MIL) to turn on.
A fire may result if fuel is pumped into a
portable container that is inside of a vehicle.
You could be burned. Always place fuel
containers on the ground while filling.
CAUTION!
Damage to the fuel system or emission control
system could result from using an improper
fuel filler cap. A poorly fitting cap could let
impurities into the fuel system. Also, a poorly
fitting aftermarket cap can cause the Malfunc-
tion Indicator Light (MIL) to illuminate, due to
fuel vapors escaping from the system.
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not
“top off” the fuel tank after filling.
