Fueling Procedure
ƽ
WARNING
Do not allow children to put fuel in
the vehicle.
Stop engine.
Do not allow anyone to remain seated
on the vehicle while filling.
Unscrew fuel tank cap counterclock-
wise to remove.
Insert the spout into the filler neck.
Pour fuel slowly so that air can escape
from the tank and prevent fuel flow-
back. Be careful not to spill fuel.
Do not overfill. Stop filling when the
fuel reaches the bottom of filler neck.
Fully tighten fuel tank cap clockwise.
ƽ
WARNING
Always stop engine before refu-
eling. Open cap slowly. If a dif-
ferential pressure condition is no-
ticed (whistling sound heard when
loosening fuel tank cap) have ve-
hicle inspected and/or repaired
before further operation. Fuel is
flammable and explosive under
certain conditions. Never use an
open flame to check fuel level.
Never smoke or allow flame or
spark in vicinity. Always work in
a well-ventilated area. Never top
off the fuel tank before placing the
vehicle in a warm area. As tem-
perature increases, fuel expands
and may overflow. Always wipe
off any fuel or oil spillage from the
vehicle.

exceeds the requirements for API ser-
vice classification SM, SL or SJ. Al-
ways check the API service label cer-
tification on the oil container, it must

dards.
