WARNING: Never remove the coolant reservoir cap while the
engine is running or hot. The hot coolant is under pressure and

may cause serious burns.

5. Re-start the engine and take your vehicle to a service facility.

Driving the vehicle without repairing the engine problem
increases the chance of engine damage. Take your vehicle to a
service facility as soon as possible.

FUEL FILTER

Your vehicle is equipped with a lifetime fuel filter that is integrated with
the fuel tank. Regular maintenance or replacement is not needed.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT AUTOMOTIVE FUELS

Important safety precautions

WARNING: Do not overfill the fuel tank. The pressure in an
overfilled tank may cause leakage and lead to fuel spray and fire.

WARNING: The fuel system may be under pressure. If the fuel
filler cap is venting vapor or if you hear a hissing sound, wait

until it stops before completely removing the fuel filler cap. Otherwise,
fuel may spray out and injure you or others.

WARNING: If you do not use the proper fuel filler cap,
excessive vacuum in the fuel tank may damage the fuel system

or cause the fuel cap to disengage in a collision, which may result in
serious personal injury.

WARNING: Automotive fuels can cause serious injury or death
if misused or mishandled.

WARNING: Gasoline may contain benzene, which is a
cancer-causing agent.
