Compact Spare Tire (If Equipped)
Although the compact spare tire was fully inflated when
your vehicle was new,
it can lose air after a time. Check
the inflation pressure regularly. It should be 60 psi
(420 kPa).
After installing the compact spare on your vehicle,
you should stop as
soon as possible and make sure
your spare tire
is correctly inflated. The compact
spare
is made to perform well at speeds up to 65 mph
(105 km/h) for distances up to 3,000 miles (5 000 km),
so you can finish your trip and have your full-size tire
repaired or replaced where
you want. Of course, it’s best
to replace your spare with a full-size tire as soon as you
can. Your spare will last longer and be in good shape in
case you need
it again.

The fuel cap is behind
a hinged door
on the
driver’s side of
your vehicle.
A CAUTION:
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.
To take off the cap, turn
it slowly to the left
(counterclockwise). The
cap has a spring
in it; if
you let go of the cap
too soon, it will spring
back to the right.
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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Be careful not to spill gasoline. Clean gasoline from
painted surfaces as soon as possible. See "Cleaning the
Outside
of Your Vehicle" in the Index.
When you
put the cap back on, turn it to the right
(clockwise)
until you hear a clicking sound. Make sure
you fully install the cap. The diagnostic system can
determine
if the fuel cap has been left off or improperly
installed. This would allow fuel
to evaporate into the
atmosphere. See "Malfunction Indicator Lamp"
in
the Index.
NOTICE:
If you need a new cap, be sure to get the right
type. Your dealer
can get one for you. If you get
the wrong type, it may not
fit properly. This may
cause your malfunction indicator lamp to light and your fuel tank and emissions system may be
damaged. See "Malfunction Indicator Lamp"
in
the Index.
Checking Things Under the Hood
1
To open the hood, first pull
the handle inside the vehicle
on the lower driver's side of
the instrument panel.
Then
go to the front of the vehicle and release the
secondary hood release.
