Filling Your Tank
Gasoline vapor is highly flammable. It burns
violently, and that can cause very bad injuries.
Don’t smoke if you’re near gasoline or refueling
your vehicle. Keep sparks, flames, and smoking
materials away from gasoline.
Your vehicle has a locking fuel filler door.
The cap is behind the license plate. Pull down on the top
of the license plate bracket door
to open.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The filler door is locked and unlocked every time you
use the power door locks.
If pressing the power lock
control doesn’t unlock or lock the fuel filler door, you
can use the manual lock release lever in
the trunk, if
your vehicle is
so equipped. Move the lever to the left to
unlock the fuel filler door.
To take
off the cap, turn it slowly to the left
(counterclockwise).
A CAUTION:
If you get gasoline on yourself and then
something ignites
it, you could be badly burned.
Gasoline can spray out on you
if you open the
fuel filler cap too quickly.
This spray can happen
if your tank is nearly full, and is more likely in
hot weather. Open the fuel filler cap slowly and
wait for any “hiss” noise to stop. Then unscrew
the cap all the way.
Be careful not to spill gasoline. Clean gasoline from
painted surfaces as soon as possible. See “Cleaning the
Outside of Your Cadillac” in the Index.
