tions. You could be burned or seri-
ously injured if it is misused or mis-
handled. Always stop the engine and

af ter the fuel pump nozzle shuts off
automatically. Continued refueling
may cause fuel overflow, resulting in
fuel spray and possibly a fire.
∙ Use only an original equipment type fuel-filler cap as a replacement. It has
a built-in safety valve needed for
proper operation of the fuel system
and emission control system. An in-
correct cap can result in a serious mal-
function and possible injury. It could
also cause the
Malfunction Indi-
cator Light (MIL) to come on.
∙ Never pour fuel into the throttle body to attempt to start your vehicle.

can cause an explosion of flammable
liquid, vapor or gas in any vehicle or

injury or death when filling portable
fuel containers:
– Always place the container on the ground when filling.
– Do not use electronic devices when filling. – Keep the pump nozzle in contact
with the container while you are
filling it.
– Use only approved portable fuel containers for flammable liquid.

and consumer information” section of
this manual.

erly tightened. It may take a few driv-
ing trips for the message to be
