Service Station Procedures Opening and Closing the Hood Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You can be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel. ● LATCH HOOD RELEASE HANDLE Stop the engine, and keep heat, sparks, and flame away. Handle fuel only outdoors. Wipe up spills immediately. 1. Park the vehicle, and set the parking brake. Pull the hood release handle under the lower left corner of the dashboard. The hood will pop up slightly. 2. Put your fingers under the front edge of the hood near the center. Slide your hand to the left until you feel the hood latch handle. Push this handle up to release it. Lift up the hood. If the hood latch handle moves stiffly, or if you can open the hood without lifting the handle, the mechanism should be cleaned and lubricated. ● ● 5. Screw the fuel fill cap back on until it clicks at least once. If you do not properly tighten the cap, the malfunction indicator lamp may come on (see page 304). You will also see a ''CHECK FUEL CAP'' message on the information display. 6. Push the fuel fill door closed until it latches. 200
