Service Station Procedures

Filling the Gas Tank

1. The fuel filler is on the driver's
side of the car. Park with that
side closest to the service station
pumps.

2. Open the fuel filler door by

pulling on the handle to the left
of the driver's seat.

3. Remove
the gas cap slowly. You
may hear a hissing sound as
pressure inside the tank escapes.
Place the gas cap on the inside of
the door as shown.
4. Stop
filling the tank after the gas

pump automatically clicks off.
Do not try to "top off" the tank,
leave some room for the fuel to expand with temperature
changes.

5. Screw
the gas cap back on,

tighten it until it clicks.

6. Push the fuel filler door until it

latches.

g
Handlin
g gasoline improperly

ously or fatally injured.

Fuel Filter, Spark Plugs

Fuel Filter

The fuel filter should be replaced
every 4 years or 96,000 km (60,000
miles), whichever comes first.
Have a qualified technician change
the fuel filter. Since the fuel system is under pressure, gasoline can
spray out and create a hazard if all
fuel line connections are not han- dled correctly.
The filter may require replacement sooner if you happen to buy one ormore tankfuls of contaminated
gasoline. Have the filter tested or
replaced if you suspect it has been
clogged by contaminants.
Spark Plugs

The original spark plugs in your
car need to be replaced every 2
years or 48,000 km (30,000 miles),
whichever comes first.
Replacement

1. Clean up any dirt and oil that have collected around the spark
plug caps.
2. Remove the spark plug cap by pulling it straight out.
3. Remove the spark plug, using a 16 mm (5/8 inch) spark plug
socket.
