To
remove 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.
While refueling, hang the tethered cap from the hook
on the fuel door.
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.
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.
