WARNING!

A fire may result if gasoline is pumped into a
portable container that is inside of a vehicle. You
could be burned. Always place gas containers on the
ground while filling.

Locking Fuel Filler Cap (Gas Cap) — If Equipped

• Turn the engine off.
• Insert the ignition key into the fuel cap, and turn the

key to the right to unlock the fuel cap. Rotate the fuel
cap to the left to remove.

• To replace the cap, insert it into the filler neck and

tighten the cap about 1/4 turn until you hear one click.
This is an indication that the cap is properly tightened.

• Make sure that the fuel cap tether strap is not caught

under the fuel cap.

• Be sure to remove the key.

CAUTION!

To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top
off” the fuel tank after filling.

NOTE:

When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the

fuel tank is full.
