OPENING THE HOOD

• Pull the hood release lever located on

the instrument panel, below the
steering column.

• Raise the hood and locate the safety

catch lever, in the middle of the hood
opening.

• Move the safety latch while lifting the

hood at the same time.

• Insert the support rod into the slot on

the hood.

• To close the hood, remove the support

rod and place it in the retaining clip,
then lower the hood slowly.

WARNING!

Be sure the hood is fully latched before driving your vehicle. If the hood is not
fully latched, it could open when the vehicle is in motion and block your vision.
Failure to follow this warning could result in serious injury or death.

ADDING FUEL

Fuel Filler Cap (Gas Cap)

• The gas cap is located behind the fuel

filler door on the left side of the
vehicle. If the gas cap is lost or
damaged, be sure the replacement cap
is for use with this vehicle.

• When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts

off, the fuel tank is full.

• Tighten the gas cap until you hear a

“clicking” sound. This is an indication
that the gas cap is properly tightened.
If not properly tightened, the MIL
(Malfunction Indicator Light) may
come on.

NOTE: The driver’s side sliding door cannot be opened while the fuel door is open.
