5. Place the cap on the fuel filler door.
If the fuel filler door does not open
because ice has formed around it, tap
lightly or push on the door to break the ice
and release the door. Do not open the
door. If necessary, spray around the door
with an approved deicer fluid (do not use
radiator antifreeze) or move the vehicle to
a warm place and allow the ice to melt.
Closing the fuel filler door
1. To install the fuel tank cap, turn it
clockwise until it “clicks” one time.
2. Close the fuel filler door until it is
latched securely.
Automotive fuel is highly flammable and
explosive. Failure to follow these
guidelines may result in SERIOUS INJURY
or DEATH:
• Read and follow all warnings posted at
the gas station.
• Before refueling, note the location of
the Emergency Fuel Shut-Off, if
available, at the gas station.
• Before touching the fuel nozzle, you
should eliminate the potential build-up
of static electricity by touching a metal
part of the vehicle, a safe distance away
from the fuel filler neck, nozzle, or other
gas source, with your bare hand.
• Do not use mobile phones while
refueling. Electric current and/or
electronic interference from cellular
phones can potentially ignite fuel
vapors and cause a fire.
