engine and do not smoke or allow open
flames or sparks near the vehicle when re-
fueling.
•Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank after
the fuel pump nozzle shuts off automati-
cally. Continued refueling may cause fuel
overflow, resulting in fuel spray and possi-
bly a fire.
•Use only an original equipment type fuel-
filler cap as a replacement. It has a built-in
safety valve needed for proper operation of
the fuel system and emission control sys-
tem. An incorrect cap can result in a serious
malfunction and possible injury.
•Never pour fuel into the throttle body to
attempt to start your vehicle.
•Do not fill a portable fuel container in the

an explosion of flammable liquid, vapor or
gas in any vehicle or trailer. To reduce the
risk of serious injury or death when filling
portable fuel containers:
–Always place the container on the
ground when filling.
–Do not use electronic devices when fill-
ing.
–Keep the pump nozzle in contact with
the container while you are filling it.
–Use only approved portable fuel con-
tainers for flammable liquid.
CAUTION
•Do not use E-15 or E-85 fuel in your vehicle.
