LOCKING AND UNLOCKING 41 Low fuel warning chime If a chime sounds when the low fuel warning light is on, that means the fuel is low. NOTE: If the low fuel warning light goes off, then comes back on again, the chime will not sound. Fuel tank capacity 62 L (16.4 gal) NOTE: If the fuel tank filler tube cap is not tight while driving, the "Malfunction indicator light (SERVICE ENGINE SOON)" may illuminate when the onboard diagnostic (OBD) system performs its self check. Always tighten the fuel tank filler tube cap until you hear clicking sounds. The indicator light will go off after driving several times. If the indicator light does not go off, contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible. 2 CAUTION! • As the fuel system may be under pressure, remove the fuel tank filler tube cap slowly. Removing the cap slowly relieves any pressure or vacuum that might have built up in the fuel tank. If the cap is venting vapor or if you hear a hissing sound, wait until it stops before completely removing the cap. Otherwise, fuel may spray out and injure you or others. • If you need to replace the fuel tank filler tube cap, use only a cap specified for your model vehicle. • To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not "top-off" the fuel tank again and again after filling.
