WARNING! (Continued)

• Guard against carbon monoxide with proper

maintenance. Have the exhaust system inspected
every time the vehicle is raised. Have any abnor-
mal conditions repaired promptly. Until repaired,
drive with all side windows fully open.

ADDING FUEL
The fuel tank filler tube has a restricting door about 2 in
(50 mm) inside the opening. If using a portable fuel
container, it should have a flexible nozzle long enough to
force open the restricting door.

CAUTION!

• Damage to the fuel system or emissions control

system could result from using an improper fuel
tank filler tube cap (gas cap). A poorly fitting cap
could let impurities into the fuel system. Also, a
poorly-fitted aftermarket cap can cause the MIL
(Malfunction Indicator Light) to illuminate due to
fuel vapors escaping from the system.

• A poorly fitting gas cap may cause the MIL to turn

on.

• 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.
