Filling Your Tank
The fuel cap is behind
a hinged door on the
driver’s side
of
your vehicle.
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:
I
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.
6-5

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
To open the hood, first pull
the handle inside the vehicle
on the lower driver’s side of

Headlamps
The headlamp wiring is protected by an internal circuit
breaker. An electrical overload
will cause the lamps to go
on and
off, or in some cases to remain off. If this happens,
have
your headlamp wiring checked right away.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit breaker
and a fuse.
If the motor overheats due to heavy snow, etc.. the
wiper will stop
until the motor cools. If the overload is caused
by some electrical problem, be sure
to get it fixed.
Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers protect the power windows and other
power accessories. When the current load is too heavy.
the circuit breaker opens and closes, protecting the
circuit
until the problem is fixed or goes away.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by
a combination of fuses, circuit breakers
and fusible thermal links. This greatly reduces the
chance of fires caused by electrical problems.
Look
at the silver-colored band inside the fuse. If the
band is broken
or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure you
replace a bad fuse
with a new one of the identical size
and rating.
If you ever have a problem on the road and don't have a
spare fuse.
you can borrow one that has the same
amperage. Just pick
some feature of your vehicle that
you can get along without
-- like the radio or cigarette
lighter
-- and use its fuse, if it is the correct amperage.
Replace
it as soon as you can.
Instrument Panel Fuse Block
The fuse block is at the
driver's end of the
instrument panel.
Remove the
toller by turning the fastener
counterclockwise. Extra fuses and the fuse extractor are
provided
in the cover. To reinstall the fuse panel cover.
push in and turn the fastener clockwise.
