Warning (Continued)
.Keep children away from the
fuel pump and never let
children pump fuel.
.Fuel can spray out if the fuel
cap is opened too quickly.
This spray can happen if the
tank is nearly full, and is
more likely in hot weather.
Open the fuel cap slowly and
wait for any hiss noise to stop
then unscrew the cap all
the way.
The fuel cap is behind a hinged
fuel door on the passenger side of
the vehicle. If equipped, the fuel
door is locked when the vehicle
doors are locked. Press
Kon
the RKE transmitter to unlock. To
open the fuel door, push and
release the rearward center edge of
the door. Be careful not to spill fuel. Do not
top off or overfill the tank and wait a
few seconds after you have finished
pumping before removing the
nozzle. Clean fuel from painted
surfaces as soon as possible. See
Exterior Care on page 10-101.
When replacing the fuel cap, turn it
clockwise until it clicks, otherwise
the malfunction indicator lamp may
turn on. 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 on page 5-16.{Warning
If a fire starts while you are
refueling, do not remove the
nozzle. Shut off the flow of fuel by
shutting off the pump or by
notifying the station attendant.
Leave the area immediately.

brakes, do not tap into the vehicle's
brake system. If this is done, both
brake systems will not work well or
at all.

other reproductive harm. Engine
exhaust, many parts and systems,
many fluids, and some component
wear by-products contain and/or
emit these chemicals.
California Perchlorate
Materials Requirements
Certain types of automotive
applications, such as airbag
initiators, safety belt pretensioners,
and lithium batteries contained in
Remote Keyless Entry transmitters,
may contain perchlorate materials.
Special handling may be necessary.
For additional information, see

Checking Coolant
The vehicle must be on a level
surface when checking the coolant
level.
Check coolant as follows:
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Locate the engine coolantrecovery bottle. See Engine
Compartment Overview on
page 10-6.
3. Turn the coolant dipstick cap counterclockwise and slowly pull
out the dipstick.
4. There are maximum andminimum markings on the
dipstick. When the engine is
cold, the coolant level should be
at or above the MIN mark on the
dipstick. After the vehicle has
been driven and the engine is at
normal operating temperature,
the level should be somewhere
between half full and the
maximum mark.
5. If the coolant level is correct, replace the dipstick and turn the
cap clockwise to secure.
How to Add Coolant to the
Coolant Recovery Bottle
{Warning
You can be burned if you spill
coolant on hot engine parts.
Coolant contains ethylene glycol
and it will burn if the engine parts
are hot enough. Do not spill
coolant on a hot engine.
{Caution
This vehicle has a specific
coolant fill procedure. Failure to
follow this procedure could cause
the engine to overheat and be
severely damaged.
Add coolant as follows:
1. Turn the engine coolant recovery bottle dipstick cap
counterclockwise and slowly pull
out the dipstick.
