Fuel tank cap  
NOTICE  
Be sure to return the support rod to  
its clip before closing the hood. Clos-  
ing the hood with the support rod up  
could cause the hood to bend.  
3. Hold the hood open by inserting the  
support rod into the slot.  
This indicates that the fuel filler door  
is on the left side of your vehicle.  
Before closing the hood, check to see that  
you have not forgotten any tools, rags,  
etc. and return the support rod to its  
clip—this prevents rattles. Then lower the  
hood and make sure it locks into place.  
If necessary, press down gently on the  
front edge to lock it.  
CAUTION  
After inserting the support rod into  
the slot, make sure the rod supports  
the hood securely from falling down  
on to your head or body.
