WARNING - Unsecured

engine hood

1. Before closing the hood, check the

following:

Before closing the hood, ensure

that all obstructions are removed

from the hood opening. Closing

the hood with an obstruction

present in the hood opening may

result in severe personal injury.

Always double check to be sure

that the hood is firmly latched

before driving away. If it is not

latched, the hood could fly open

while the vehicle is being driv-

en, causing a total loss of visi-

bility, which might result in an

accident.

• All filler caps in engine compart-

ment must be correctly installed.

• Gloves, rags or any other com-

bustible material must be

removed from the engine com-

partment.

2. Return the support rod to its clip to

prevent it from rattling.

WARNING - Fire risk

3.Lower the hood until it is about 30

cm above the closed position and

let it drop. Make sure that it locks

into place.

Do not leave gloves, rags or any

other combustible material in the

engine compartment. Doing so

may cause a heat-induced fire.

4. Check that the hood has engaged

properly. If the hood can be raised

slightly, it is not properly engaged.

Open it again and close it with a lit-

tle more force.

FUEL FILLER LID

Opening the fuel filler lid

Closing the fuel filler lid

1. To install the cap, turn it clockwise

until it “clicks” once. This indicates

that the cap is securely tightened.

2. Close the fuel filler lid and push it

in lightly making sure that it is

securely closed.

✽

NOTICE

There may be an intermittent noise

near the refueling hole while the

engine is idling if the fuel cap is not

closed securely. This occurs normal-

ly with the OBD system.

OUM044025

1. Stop the engine.

OUMA044024

2. To open the fuel filler lid, push the

fuel filler lid opener button.

The fuel filler lid must be opened

from inside the vehicle by pressing

the fuel filler lid opener button.

3. Pull open the fuel filler lid (1).

✽

NOTICE

4. To remove the cap, turn the fuel

filler cap (2) counterclockwise.

If the fuel filler lid does not open

because ice has formed around it,

tap lightly or push on the lid to break

the ice and release the lid. Do not pry

on the lid. If necessary, spray around

the lid with an approved de-icer fluid

(do not use radiator anti-freeze) or

move the vehicle to a warm place

and allow the ice to melt.

When refueling on unlevel ground,

the fuel gauge may not point to the F

position.

It is not a malfunction. If you move

your vehicle to a level ground, the fuel

gauge will move to the full position.

5. Refuel as needed.

Features of your vehicle

WARNING - Refueling

WARNING - Static

WARNING - Portable fuel

container

electricity

Always remove the fuel cap

carefully and slowly. If the cap is

venting fuel or if you hear a hiss-

ing sound, wait until the condi-

tion stops before completely

removing the cap. If pressurized

fuel sprays out, it can cover your

clothes or skin and subject you

to the risk of fire and burns.

• Before touching the fuel noz-

zle, you should eliminate

potentially dangerous static

electricity discharge by touch-

ing another metal part of the

vehicle, a safe distance away

from the fuel filler neck, noz-

zle, or other gas source.

When using an approved portable

fuel container, be sure to place

the container on the ground prior

to refueling. Static electricity dis-

charge from the container can

ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.

Once refueling has begun, con-

tact with the vehicle should be

maintained until the filling is com-

plete. Use only approved portable

plastic fuel containers designed

to carry and store gasoline.

• Do not get back into a vehicle

once you have begun refueling

since you can generate static

electricity by touching, rubbing

or sliding against any item or

fabric (polyester, satin, nylon,

etc.) capable of producing stat-

ic electricity. Static electricity

discharge can ignite fuel

vapors resulting in rapid burn-

ing. If you must reenter the

vehicle, you should once again

eliminate potentially danger-

ous static electricity discharge

by touching a metal part of the

vehicle, away from the fuel filler

neck, nozzle or other gasoline

source.

Always check that the fuel cap is

installed securely to prevent fuel

spillage in the event of an accident.

✽

NOTICE

Tighten the cap until it clicks once,

otherwise the fuel cap open warning

WARNING - Cell phone

fires

indicator

Do not use cellular phones

while refueling. Electric current

and/or electronic interference

from cellular phones can poten-

tially ignite fuel vapors causing

a fire.

WARNING - Fire/explo-

sion risk

Read and follow all warnings

posted at the gas station facili-

ty. Failure to follow all warnings

may result in severe personal

injury, severe burns or death

due to a fire or explosion.
