The cap is behind a hinged door on the

Gasoline vapor is highly
flammable. It burns violently,
and that can cause very bad
I injuries. Don’t smoke if you’re
ar 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), While refueling, hang
the cap inside the
fuel door.
I
A If you get gasoline on you and
L then something ignites it, you
L.udd 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.
When you put the cap back on, turn
it to
the right until you hear a clicking noise.

get the right type. Your dealer

it may not fit or have
proper venting, and your fuel tank
and emissions system
