FUEL FILLER LID

WARNING

- Refueling

• If pressurized fuel sprays out, it

can cover your clothes or skin
and thus subject you to the risk
of fire and burns. Always remove
the fuel cap carefully and slowly.
If the cap is venting fuel or if you
hear a hissing sound, wait until
the condition stops before com-
pletely removing the cap.

• Do not "top off" after the nozzle

automatically shuts off when
refueling.

• Tighten the cap until it clicks, oth-

erwise the Malfunction Indicator
Light will

illuminate.

• Always check that the fuel cap is

installed securely to prevent fuel
spillage in the event of an acci-
dent.
