ENGINE RUNAWAY — DIESEL ENGINE
Diesel engine runaway is a rare condition affecting
diesel engines, where the engine consumes its
own lubrication oil and runs at higher and higher
RPM until it overspeeds to a point where it destroys
itself due to either mechanical failure or engine
seizure through lack of lubrication.
REFUELING THE VEHICLE — GASOLINE
ENGINE
The fuel filler cap (gas cap) is located behind the
fuel filler door, on the left side of the vehicle. Open
the fuel door and remove the fuel filler cap by
turning it counter-clockwise.
Fuel Filler Cap
NOTE:
When removing the fuel filler cap, lay the cap
te
ther in the hook, located on the fuel filler door.
WARNING!
In case of engine runaway due to flammable
fumes from fuel spills or turbocharger oil leaks
being sucked into the engine, do the following to
help avoid personal injury and/or vehicle
damage:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
2. U
sing a CO2 or dry chemical type fire
e
xtinguisher, direct the spray from the fire
extinguisher into the grille on the driver side
so that the spray enters the engine air intake.
The inlet for the engine air intake is located
be
hind the driver’s side headlamp and receives
air through the grille.
WARNING!
Never have any smoking materials lit in or
near the vehicle when the gas cap is removed
or the tank is being filled.
Never add fuel to the vehicle when the engine
is running.
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.
CAUTION!
Damage to the fuel system or emissions
control system could result from using an
improper fuel tank filler tube cap.
A poorly fitting fuel filler cap could let impuri-
ties into the fuel system.
A poorly fitting fuel filler cap may cause the
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) to turn on.
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not
“top off” the fuel tank after filling. When the
fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the fuel tank
is full.
WARNING!
