WARNING!

• Remove the fuel cap (gas cap) slowly to prevent

fuel spray from the filler neck which may cause
injury.

• The volatility of some gasoline may cause a

buildup of pressure in the fuel tank that may
increase while you drive. This pressure can result
in a spray of gasoline and/or vapors when the cap
is removed from a hot vehicle. Removing the cap
slowly allows the pressure to vent and prevents
fuel spray.

• Never have any smoking materials lit in or near

the vehicle when the fuel cap is removed or the
tank filled.

• Never add fuel to the vehicle when the engine is

running.

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 two
clicks. This is an indication that the cap is properly
tightened.
