Service Station Procedures Filling the Fuel Tank Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You can be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel. Stop the engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame away. Handle fuel only outdoors. Wipe up spills immediately. 3. Remove the fuel fill cap slowly. You may hear a hissing sound as pressure inside the tank escapes. 4. Stop filling the tank after the fuel nozzle automatically clicks off. Do not try to "top off" the tank, leave some room for the fuel to expand with temperature changes. 5. Screw the fuel fill cap back on, tighten it until it clicks several times. If you do not properly tighten the cap, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp may come on (see page 266 ). 6. Push the fuel fill door closed until it latches. Pull 1. Because the fuel fill cap is on the driver's side of the vehicle, park with that side closest to the service station pumps. 2. Open the fuel fill door by pulling on the handle at the outside of the driver's seat. FUEL FILL CAP Before Driving
