While refueling, let the fuel cap hang by the tether.
{CAUTION:
If you spill fuel and then something
ignites it, you could be badly burned. Fuel
can spray out on you if you open the fuel
cap too quickly. This spray can happen if
your 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.
Be careful not to spill fuel. Do not top off or overll
the tank and wait a few seconds after you have
nished pumping before removing the nozzle.
Clean fuel from painted surfaces as soon
as possible. SeeWashing Your Vehicle on
page 521.
When replacing the fuel cap, turn it clockwise until
it clicks. Make sure the cap is fully installed.
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. SeeMalfunction Indicator Lamp on
page 242.
The CHECK GAS CAP message will be displayed
in the Driver Information Center (DIC) if the fuel
cap is not properly installed. SeeDIC Warnings
and Messages on page 256for more information.
{CAUTION:
If a re starts while you are refueling, do
not remove the nozzle. Shut off the ow of
fuel by shutting off the pump or by
notifying the station attendant. Leave the
area immediately.
Notice:If you need a new fuel cap, be sure to
get the right type. Your dealer can get one
for you. If you get the wrong type, it may not
t properly. This may cause your malfunction
indicator lamp to light and may damage
your fuel tank and emissions system. See
Malfunction Indicator Lamp on page 242.

If the overheat warning continues, there is one
more thing you can try. You can add the proper
coolant mixture directly to the radiator, but be sure
the cooling system is cool before you do it.
{CAUTION:
Steam and scalding liquids from a hot
cooling system can blow out and burn
you badly. They are under pressure, and if
you turn the radiator pressure cap — even
a little — they can come out at high
speed. Never turn the cap when the
cooling system, including the radiator
pressure cap, is hot. Wait for the cooling
system and radiator pressure cap to cool
if you ever have to turn the pressure cap.
How to Add Coolant to the Radiator
Notice:Your engine has a specic radiator ll
procedure. Failure to follow this procedure
could cause your engine to overheat and
be severely damaged.
1. You can remove the
radiator pressure
cap when the
cooling system,
including the radiator
pressure cap and
upper radiator hose,
is no longer hot.
Turn the pressure cap slowly
counterclockwise. If you hear a hiss, wait for
that to stop. A hiss means there is still
some pressure left, close the cap and wait for
the system to cool down.

Removing the Flat Tire and
Installing the Spare Tire
Your vehicle may have aluminum wheels. If so, you
will see exposed stainless steel wheel nuts. Use the
wheel wrench to loosen all of the wheel nuts. Do not
remove them yet. Or, your vehicle may have steel
wheel covers. To remove the wheel covers and
wheel nut caps, loosen the plastic nut caps with the
wheel wrench in a counterclockwise direction. If
needed, you can nish loosening with your ngers.
504

The plastic nut caps will not come off. Use the at
end of the wheel wrench and pry along the edge of
the cover until it comes off. The edge of the wheel
cover could be sharp, so do not try to remove it with
your bare hands. Do not drop the cover or lay it face
down, as it could become scratched or damaged.
Once you have removed the wheel cover, use the
following procedure to remove the at tire and
install the spare tire.1. Loosen the wheel
nuts using the
folding wrench,
but do not
remove them.
Turn the handle counterclockwise about
180 degrees, then ip the handle back to the
starting position. This avoids taking the
wrench off the lug nut for each turn.
Notice:If your vehicle has wheel locks and
you use an impact wrench to remove the wheel
nuts, you could damage the lock nut or
wheel lock key. Do not use an impact wrench
to remove the wheel nuts if your vehicle
has wheel locks.
