GENERAL INFORMATION

Your vehicle is designed to operate on gasoline or Com-

pressed Natural Gas (CNG). Compressed Natural Gas is

made up primarily of methane and is in a gaseous state

at all times.
The manufacturer’s built vehicles equipped with com-

pressed natural gas fueled engines are identified by the

character T in the eighth (engine) position of the Vehicle

Identification Number (V.I.N.).

SAFETY WARNINGS

Natural gas is safe and reliable, when used properly. For

safe operation of your vehicle, observe the following

precautions:

• Your vehicle fuel system has a maximum capacity of

3,600 pounds per square inch gauge (24.8 MPa) com-

pensated to a temperature of 70° F (21° C). The vehicle

should only be filled from refueling equipment incor-

porating temperature compensation to 70° F (21° C).

Exceeding the fuel system capacity may result in fuel

system damage and possibly cause injury.

• Do not attempt to force open or tamper with the fuel

fill receptacle. A sudden release of natural gas may

occur, possibly causing injury.
