seconds, to unlock all doors and the liftgate. The turn signal lights will flash to acknowledge the unlock signal. The illuminated entry system will also turn on. T o Lock The Doors And Liftgate Press and release the LOCK button on the RKE transmit- ter to lock all doors and the liftgate.
1. Press the mechanical key release button and release the mechanical key to access the battery case screw located on the side of the Key Fob. 2. Rotate the screw located on the side of the Key Fob using a small screwdriver . 3. T ake out the battery case.
4. Refit the battery case inside the Key Fob and turn the screw to lock it into place. DOOR LOCKS The door locks can be manually locked or unlocked from inside the vehicle by using the door handle. If the door handle is pushed a red lock indicator will show on the door handle (indicating locked) when the door is closed, the door will lock.
W ARNING! • Do not leave children or animals inside parked vehicles in hot weather . Interior heat build-up may cause serious injury or death. • For personal security and safety in the event of an collision, lock the vehicle doors as you drive as well as when you park and leave the vehicle.
Power Door Locks A power door lock switch is incorporated into the door handle. Push or pull the handle to lock or unlock the doors and liftgate. If the door handle is pushed a red lock indicator will show on the door handle (indicating locked) when the door is closed, the door will lock.
T o change the Autoclose setting in the EVIC, proceed as follows: 1. Briefly press the MENU ESC button “On” or “Off” will flash on the display (according to the previous setting).
Auto-Down — If Equipped The driver’s door window switch may have an Auto- Down feature. Press the window switch for approxi- mately one second, release, and the window will go down automatically . T o cancel the Auto-Down move- ment, operate the switch in either the up or down direction and release the switch.
T o open the liftgate, squeeze the liftgate release handle and pull the liftgate open with one fluid motion. W ARNING! • Driving with the liftgate open can allow poisonous exhaust gases into your vehicle. Y ou and your passengers could be injured by these fumes.
OCCUP ANT RESTRAINTS Some of the most important safety features in your vehicle are the restraint systems: • Three-point lap and shoulder belts for all seating positions • Advanced Front Air Bags .
Here are some simple steps you can take to minimize the risk of harm from a deploying air bag: 1. Children 12 years old and under should always ride buckled up in a rear seat. W ARNING! Infants in rear facing child restraints should never ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger Advanced Front Air Bag.
5. If the air bag system in this vehicle needs to be modified to accommodate a disabled person, contact the Customer Center . Phone numbers are provided in ⬙ If Y ou Need Consumer Assistance. ⬙ W ARNING! • Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision.
W ARNING! In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are not properly buckled up. Y ou can strike the interior of your vehicle or other passengers, or you can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be sure you and others in your vehicle are buckled up properly .
W ARNING! • It is dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed. • Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts.
2. The seat belt latch plate is along side the pillar near the back of your seat. Grasp the latch plate and pull out the belt. Slide the latch plate up the webbing as far as necessary to allow the belt to go around your lap. 3. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.
W ARNING! • A belt buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly . The lap portion could ride too high on your body , possibly causing internal inju- ries. Always buckle your belt into the buckle nearest you. • A belt that is too loose will not protect you prop- erly .
4. Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. T o remove slack in the lap belt portion, pull up on the shoulder belt. T o loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug belt reduces the risk of sliding under the belt in a collision.
6. T o release the belt, push the red button on the buckle. The belt will automatically retract to its stowed posi- tion. If necessary , slide the latch plate down the webbing to allow the belt to retract fully . W ARNING! A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection.
For additional information, refer to “Installing Child Restraints Using The V ehicle Seat Belt” under the “Child Restraints” section. The chart below defines the type of feature for each seating position.
How T o Engage The Automatic Locking Mode 1. Buckle the combination lap and shoulder belt. 2. Grasp the shoulder portion and pull downward until the entire belt is extracted. 3. Allow the belt to retract. As the belt r etracts, you will hear a clicking sound.
Seat Belt Pretensioners The seat belts for both front seating positions ar e equipped with pretensioning devices that ar e designed to remove slack fr om the seat belt in the event of a collision. These devices may improve the performance of the seat belt by assuring that the belt is tight about the occupant early in a collision.
unbuckled while traveling at speeds greater than 5 mph (8 km/h), BeltAlert 威 will provide both audio and visual notification. The fr ont passenger seat BeltAlert 威 is not active when the front passenger seat is unoccupied.
Seat Belts And Pregnant Women W e recommend that pregnant women use the seat belts throughout their pregnancy . Keeping the mother safe is the best way to keep the baby safe. Pregnant women should wear the lap part of the belt across the thighs and as snug acr oss the hips as possible.
NOTE: The Driver and Front Passenger Advanced Front Air Bags are certified to the Federal regulations for Advanced Air Bags. The Advanced Front Air Bags are designed to allow the air bags to have dif ferent inflation levels based on several factors, including the severity and type of collision.
• Steering Wheel and Column • Instrument Panel • Supplemental Driver Side Knee Air Bag • Knee Impact Bolster • Driver Advanced Front Air Bag • Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag • Suppleme.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Do not put anything on or around the air bag covers or attempt to open them manually . Y ou may damage the air bags and you could be injured because the air bags may no longer be functional. The protective covers for the air bag cushions are designed to open only when the air bags are inflating.
When the air bag deploys, it opens the seam between the front and side of the seat’s trim cover . Each air bag deploys independently; a left side impact deploys the left air bag only and a right-side impact deploys the right air bag only .
The system includes side impact sensors that are cali- brated to deploy the Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SAB) and SABIC during impacts that requir e air bag occupant protection. W ARNING! • Y our vehicle is equipped with left and right SABIC, do not stack luggage or other cargo up high enough to block the location of the SABIC.
Along with seat belts and pretensioners, Advanced Front Air Bags work with the Supplemental Driver Side Knee Air Bag and the passenger side knee bolster to provide improved protection for the driver and front passenger . Side air bags also work with seat belts to impr ove occupant protection.
The side air bags will not deploy in all side collisions. Side air bag deployment will depend on the severity and type of collision. Because air bag sensors measure vehicle deceleration over time, vehicle speed and damage by themselves are not good indicators of whether or not an air bag should have deployed.
W ARNING! Ignoring the Air Bag W arning Light in your instru- ment panel could mean you won’t have the air bags to protect you in a collision. If the light does not come on as a bulb check when the .
A lar ge quantity of non-toxic gas is generated to inflate the Supplemental Driver Side Knee Air Bag. The trim cover separates and folds out of the way allowing the air bag to inflate to the full size. The air bag fully inflates in about 15 to 20 milliseconds.
A quantity of non-toxic gas is generated to inflate the side curtain air bag. The inflating side curtain air bag pushes the outside edge of the headliner out of the way and covers the window .
Carefully check the vehicle for fuel leaks in the engine compartment and on the ground near the engine com- partment and fuel tank before resetting the system and starting the engine.

If you do have a collision which deploys the air bags, any or all of the following may occur: • The nylon air bag material may sometimes cause abrasions and/or skin reddening to the driver and front passenger as the air bags deploy and unfold.
Maintaining Y our Air Bag System W ARNING! • Modifications to any part of the air bag system could cause it to fail when you need it. Y ou could be injured if the air bag system is not there to protect you.
Air Bag W arning Light Y ou will want to have the air bags ready to inflate for your protection in a collision. The Air Bag W arning Light monitors the internal circuits and interconnecting wiring associated with air bag system electrical components.
• How various systems in your vehicle were operating; • Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened; • How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and, • How fast the vehicle was traveling.
There are dif ferent sizes and types of restraints for children from newborn size to the child almost large enough for an adult safety belt. Always check the child seat Owner ’s Manual to make sure you have the corr ect seat for your child.
Summary Of Recommendations For Restraining Children In V ehicles Child Size, Height, W eight or Age Recommended T ype of Child Restraint Infants and T oddlers Children who are two years old or younger.
Infants And Child Restraints Safety experts recommend that children ride rearwar d- facing in the vehicle until they are two years old or until they reach either the height or weight limit of their rear facing child safety seat. T wo types of child restraints can be used rearward-facing: infant carriers and convertible child seats.
convertible child seats used in the forward-facing direc- tion are for children who are over two years old or who have outgrown the rear-facing weight or height limit of their rear -facing convertible child seat.
seatback, should use the seat belt in a rear seat. Use this simple 5-step test to decide whether the child can use the vehicle’s seat belt alone: 1. Can the child sit all the way back against the back of the vehicle seat? 2.
Recommendations For Attaching Child Restraints Restraint T ype Combined W eight of the Child + Child Restraint Use any attachment method shown with an “X” Below LA TCH – Lower Anchors Only Seat Belt Only LA TCH – Lower Anchors + T op T ether Anchor Seat Belt + T op T ether Anchor Rear-Facing Child Restraint Up to 65 lbs (29.
Lower Anchors and T ethers for Children (LA TCH) Restraint System Y our vehicle is equipped with the child restraint anchor- age system called LA TCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and T ethers for CHildren. The LA TCH system has three vehicle anchor points for installing LA TCH- equipped child seats.
LA TCH Positions For Installing Child Restraints In This V ehicle • Lower Anchorage Symbol 2 anchorages per seat- ing position • T op T ether Anchorage Symbol 2 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE ST ARTING YOU.
What is the weight limit (child’s weight + weight of the child r estraint) for using the LA TCH anchorage system to attach the child restraint? 65 lbs (29.5 kg) Use the LA TCH anchorage system until the combined weight of the child and the child restraint is 65 lbs (29.
Can two child restraints be attached us- ing a common lower LA TCH anchorage? No Never “share” a LA TCH anchorage with two or more child restraints.
Locating The LA TCH Anchorages The lower anchorages are round bars that are found at the rear of the seat cushion where it meets the seatback, below the anchorage sym- bols on the seatback. They are just visible when you lean into the rear seat to install the child restraint.
LA TCH-compatible child restraint systems will be equipped with a rigid bar or a flexible strap on each side. Each will have a hook or connector to attach to the lower anchorage and a way to tighten the connection to the anchorage. Forwar d-facing child r estraints and some rear -facing infant restraints will also be equipped with a tether strap.
4. Attach the lower hooks or connectors of the child restraint to the lower anchorages in the selected seat- ing position. 5. If the child r estraint has a tether strap, connect it to the top tether anchorage. See the section “Installing Child Restraints Using the T op T ether Anchorage” for dir ec- tions to attach a tether anchor .
W ARNING! Improper installation of a child restraint to the LA TCH anchorages can lead to failure of the re- straint. The child could be badly injured or killed. Follow the child restraint manufacturer ’ s directions exactly when installing an infant or child restraint.
Lap/Shoulder Belt Systems for Installing Child Restraints in this V ehicle 68 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE ST ARTING YOUR VEHICLE.
What is the weight limit (child’s weight + weight of the child restraint) for using the T ether Anchor with the seat belt to attach a forward facing child restraint? W eight limit of the Child Restr.
Installing A Child Restraint with a Switchable Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) 1. Place the child seat in the center of the seating position. For some second row seats, you may need to recline the seat and/or raise the head restraint to get a better fit.
8. If the child restraint has a top tether strap and the seating position has a top tether anchorage, connect the tether strap to the anchorage and tighten the tether strap. Refer to “Lower Anchors and T ethers for Chil- dren (LA TCH) Restraint System” for directions to attach a tether anchor .
5. If the child restraint has a top tether strap and the seating position has a top tether anchorage, connect the tether strap to the anchorage and tighten the tether strap. Refer to “Lower Anchors and T ethers for Chil- dren (LA TCH) Restraint System” for directions to attach a tether anchor .
2. Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for the strap between the anchor and the child seat. If your vehicle is equipped with adjustable rear head restraints, raise the head r estraint, and where possible, route the tether strap under the head restraint and between the two posts.
W ARNING! • An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible injury to the child. Use only the anchorage position directly behind the child seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.
CAUTION! Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in the engine or damage may result. NOTE: A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles (kilometers) of operation. This should be considered a normal part of the br eak-in and not interpreted as an indication of difficulty .
Exhaust Gas W ARNING! Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They contain carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless and odorless. Breathing it can make you unconscious and can eventually poison you.
Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Inside The V ehicle Seat Belts Inspect the belt system periodically , checking for cuts, frays, and loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately . Do not disassemble or modify the system. Front seat belt assemblies must be replaced after a collision.
W ARNING! Pedals that cannot move freely can cause loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of serious per- sonal injury . • Always make sure that floor mats are properly attached to the floor mat fasteners.
Periodic Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Outside The V ehicle T ires Examine tir es for excessive tread wear and uneven wear patterns. Check for stones, nails, glass, or other objects lodged in the tread or sidewall. Inspect the tread for cuts and cracks.

ST ARTING PROCEDURES Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust both inside and outside mirrors, and fasten your seat belts. W ARNING! • Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. • Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of reasons.
Cold Weather Operation T o prevent possible engine damage while starting at low temperatures, this vehicle will inhibit engine cranking when the ambient temperatur e is less than –22° F (–30° C) and the oil temperature sensor reading indicates an engine block heater has not been used.
If Engine Fails T o Start W ARNING! Never pour fuel or other flammable liquid into the throttle body air inlet opening in an attempt to start the vehicle. This could result in flash fire causing serious personal injury . CAUTION! • Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started.
MANUAL TRANSMISSION Five-Speed Manual T ransmission W ARNING! Y ou or others could be injured if you leave the vehicle unattended without having the parking brake fully applied. The parking brake should al- ways be applied when the driver is not in the vehicle, especially on an incline.
Use each gear in numerical order; do not skip a gear . Be sure the transmission is in first gear , not thir d, when starting from a standing position. Damage to the clutch can result from starting in third gear . For most city driving, you will find it easier to use only the lower gears.
Downshifting Proper downshifting will improve fuel economy and prolong engine life. CAUTION! If you skip more than one gear while downshifting or downshift at too high a vehicle speed, you could damage the engine, transmission, or clutch.
T raction When driving on wet or slushy roads, it is possible for a wedge of water to build up between the tire and road surface. This is hydroplaning and may cause partial or complete loss of vehicle control and stopping ability . T o reduce this possibility , the following precautions should be observed: 1.
Shallow Standing Water Although your vehicle is capable of driving through shallow standing water , consider the following Caution and W arning before doing so.
W ARNING! • Driving through standing water limits your vehi- cle’ s traction capabilities. Do not exceed 5 mph (8 km/h) when driving through standing water . • Driving through standing water limits your vehi- cle’ s braking capabilities, which increases stopping distances.
If the Steering icon is displayed and the “POWER STEER- ING SYSTEM OVER TEMP” message is displayed on the EVIC screen, they indicate that extreme steering maneu- vers may have occurr ed which caused an over temperature condition in the power steering system.
The parking brake lever is located in the center console. T o apply the parking brake, pull the lever up as firmly as possible. T o release the parking brake, pull the lever up slightly , press the center button, then lower the lever completely .
W ARNING! (Continued) • Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle (or in a location accessible to children), and do not leave the ignition in the MAR (ACC/ON/RUN) position. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
1. T o activate the Sport mode, press the SPOR T button. Once activated, a SPORT message will be displayed in the instrument cluster . 2. Momentarily release the accelerator pedal.
The system’s pump motor runs during an ABS stop to provide regulated hydraulic pressure. The pump motor makes a low humming noise during operation, which is normal. The ABS includes an amber ABS W arning Light. When the light is illuminated, the ABS is not functioning.
When you are in a severe braking condition involving the use of the ABS, you will experience some pedal drop as the vehicle comes to a stop. This is the result of the system reverting to the base brake system. Engagement of the ABS may be accompanied by a pulsing sensation.
benefit of the system, you must apply continuous brak- ing pressure during the stopping sequence (do not “pump” the brakes). Do not reduce brake pedal pressure unless braking is no longer desir ed. Once the brake pedal is released, the BAS is deactivated.
period of time after the driver takes his foot off the brake pedal. If the driver does not apply the thr ottle during this short period of time, the system will release brake pressur e and the vehicle will roll down the hill.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) This system enhances dir ectional control and stability of the vehicle under various driving conditions. ESC cor- rects for oversteering or understeering of the vehicle by applying the brake of the appropriate wheel to assist in counteracting the oversteering or understeering condi- tion.
W ARNING! The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road conditions. ESC cannot prevent all accidents, in- cluding those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning.
W ARNING! When in “Partial Off” mode, the TCS functionality of ESC (except for the limited slip feature described in the TCS section) has been disabled and the “ESC Off Indicator Light” will be illuminated.
driven several miles (kilometers) at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), see your authorized studio as soon as possible to have the problem diagnosed and corrected. The ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light (located in the instrument cluster) starts to flash as soon as the tires lose traction and the ESC system becomes active.
TIRE SAFETY INFORMA TION Tire Markings NOTE: • P (Passenger) - Metric tire sizing is based on U.S. design standards. P-Metric tires have the letter “P” molded into the sidewall preceding the size designa- tion. Example: P215/65R15 95H. • European-Metric tire sizing is based on European design standards.
T ires designed to this standard have the letter “T” or “S”molded into the sidewall pr eceding the size desig- nation. Example: T145/80D18 103M. • High flotation tire sizing is based on U.S. design standards and it begins with the tir e diameter molded into the sidewall.
EXAMPLE: 15 = Rim diameter in inches (in) Service Description: 95 = Load Index — A numerical code associated with the maximum load a tire can carry H = Speed Symbol — A symbol indicating the range.
Tire Identification Number (TIN) The TIN may be found on one or both sides of the tire, however , the date code may only be on one side. T ires with white sidewalls will have the full TIN, including the date code, located on the white sidewall side of the tire.
Tire T erminology And Definitions T erm Definition B-Pillar The vehicle B-Pillar is the structural member of the body located behind the front door . Cold T ire Inflation Pressure Cold tire inflation pressure is defined as the tire pressur e after the vehicle has not been driven for at least 3 hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.

3) tire size designed for your vehicle 4) cold tire inflation pressur es for the front, rear , and spare tires. Loading The vehicle maximum load on the tire must not exceed the load carrying capacity of the tire on your vehicle.
4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity . For example, if “XXX” amount equals 1,400 lbs (635 kg) and there will be five 150 lb (68 kg) passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs (295 kg) (since 5 x 150 = 750, and 1400 – 750 = 650 lbs [295 kg]).
5 ST ARTING AND OPERA TING 245.
W ARNING! Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Unequal tire pressures from one side of the vehicle to the other can cause the vehicle to drift to the right or left. • Always drive with each tire inflated to the recom- mended cold tire inflation pressure. Economy Improper inflation pressur es can cause uneven wear pat- terns to develop across the tir e tr ead.
Inflation pressures specified on the placard are always cold tire inflation pressur e. Cold tir e inflation pressure is defined as the tire pressure after the vehicle has not been driven for at least thr ee hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) after a thr ee hour period.
W ARNING! High speed driving with your vehicle under maxi- mum load is dangerous. The added strain on your tires could cause them to fail. Y ou could have a serious collision. Do not drive a vehicle loaded to the maximum capacity at continuous speeds above 75 mph (120 km/h).
If you need snow tires, select tir es equivalent in size and type to the original equipment tir es. Use snow tir es only in sets of four; failure to do so may adversely affect the safety and handling of your vehicle.
If your vehicle is not equipped with an original equip- ment tire and wheel as a spar e, a non-matching tempo- rary emergency use spare may be equipped with your vehicle.
T read Wear Indicators T read wear indicators are in the original equipment tires to help you in determining when your tires should be replaced. These indicators ar e molded into the bottom of the tread grooves. They will appear as bands when the tread depth becomes 1/16 in (2 mm).
W ARNING! T ires and the spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless of the remaining tread. Failure to follow this warning can result in sudden tire failure. Y ou could lose control and have a collision resulting in serious injury or death.
W ARNING! • Do not use a tire, wheel size or rating other than that specified for your vehicle. Some combinations of unapproved tires and wheels may change sus- pension dimensions and performance characteris- tics, resulting in changes to steering, handling, and braking of your vehicle.
TIRE CHAINS (TRACTION DEVICES) Due to limited clearance, tire chains or traction devices are not recommended. CAUTION! Damage to the vehicle may result if tire chains are used.
The suggested rotation method is the “rearward cross” shown in the following diagram. This rotation pattern does not apply to some directional tires that must not be reversed.
The TPMS will warn the driver of a low tire pressure if the tire pressur e falls below the low pressure warning limit for any reason, including low temperature effects, or natural pressure loss through the tire.
CAUTION! • The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures and warnings have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system op- eration or sensor damage may result when using replacement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style.
• Seasonal temperature changes will af fect tire pressure, and the TPMS will monitor the actual tire pr essure in the tire. Base System This is the TPMS warning indicator located in the instrument cluster . The TPMS uses wir eless technology with wheel rim mounted electronic sensors to monitor tire pressur e lev- els.
Check TPMS W arnings The T ire Pr essure Monitoring T elltale Light will flash on and off for 75 seconds and remain on solid when a system fault is detected, and the “T ire Pressur e Monitoring Unavailable” text message will display . If the ignition key is cycled, this sequence will repeat providing the system fault still exists.
3. However , after driving the vehicle for up to 20 min- utes above 15 mph (24 km/h), the T ire Pressure Monitoring T elltale Light will flash on and off for 75 seconds and then remain on solid and the ⬙ Ti re Pressur e Monitoring Unavailable ⬙ message will be displayed.
General Information This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules and RSS 210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following conditions: • This device may not cause harmful interference. • This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Reformulated Gasoline Many areas of the country require the use of cleaner burning gasoline r eferred to as “Reformulated Gasoline.” Reformulated gasolines contain oxygenates and are spe- cifically blended to reduce vehicle emissions and im- prove air quality .
If a Non-FFV vehicle is inadvertently fueled with E-85 fuel, the engine will have some or all of these symptoms: • operate in a lean mode • OBD II “Malfunction Indicator Light” on • poor eng.
Materials Added T o Fuel All gasoline sold in the United States is requir ed to contain effective detergent additives. Use of additional detergents or other additives is not needed under normal conditions and they would result in additional cost. Therefor e, you should not have to add anything to the fuel.
Carbon Monoxide Warnings W ARNING! Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust gases is deadly . Follow the precautions below to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning: • Do not inhale exhaust gases. They contain carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas, which can kill.
CAUTION! • Damage to the fuel system or emission control system could result from using an improper fuel cap (gas cap). A poorly fitting cap could let impu- rities into the fuel system. Also, a poorly fitting aftermarket cap can cause the “Malfunction Indi- cator Light (MIL)” to illuminate, due to fuel vapors escaping from the system.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Never add fuel when the engine is running. It may cause the MIL to turn on and could cause a fire. • A fire may result if gasoline is pumped into a portable container that is inside of a vehicle. Y ou could be burned. Always place gas containers on the ground while filling.
