FUEL-FILLER CAP

WARNING

. Gasoline is extremely flammable

and highly explosive under certain
conditions. You could be burned or
seriously injured if it is misused or
mishandled. Always stop engine
and do not smoke or allow open
flames or sparks near the vehicle
when refueling.

. Do not attempt to top off the fuel

tank after the fuel pump nozzle
shuts off automatically. Continued
refueling may cause fuel overflow,
resulting in fuel spray and possibly
a fire.

. Use only an original equipment type

fuel-filler cap as a replacement. It
has a built-in safety valve needed
for proper operation of the fuel
system and emission control sys-
tem. An incorrect cap can result in a
serious malfunction and possible
injury. It could also cause the mal-
function indicator light to come on.

. Never pour fuel into the throttle

body to attempt to start your vehi-
cle.

. Do not fill a portable fuel container

in the vehicle or trailer. Static elec-
tricity can cause an explosion of
flammable liquid, vapor or gas in
any vehicle or trailer. To reduce the
risk of serious injury or death when
filling portable fuel containers:

— Always place the container on

the ground when filling.

— Do not use electronic devices

when filling.

— Keep the pump nozzle in contact

with the container while you are
filling it.

— Use only approved portable fuel

containers for flammable liquid.

CAUTION

. If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body,

flush it away with water to avoid
paint damage.
