Refueling

WARNING

If a fire starts while you are refueling, do not remove the nozzle. Shut off the flow of fuel by shutting off the pump or by notify- ing the station attendant. Leave the area immediately.

1Switch off the engine.

2Open the filler cap, located in the right-hand rear fender.

3Insert the fuel pump nozzle beyond the flange on the filler pipe and let the first mark (a ring, a pimple or the first spring-coil) rest on the flange. Do not withdraw the nozzle while filling is in progress.

4Cease refueling the first time the pump stops, and wait a few seconds after you´ve finished pumping before you remove the nozzle.

NOTICE

Fill to maximum filling capacity.

Stop filling after the first time that the nozzle trips to shut off the flow of fuel.

Filling capacity can differ between different fuel stations and outside temperature. Fuel tank volume when nozzle trips to shut off, may vary by 0.5 gal. (2 liters).

Do not fill fuel all the way up the filler pipe. The gasoline must be allowed room for expansion especially during hot weather.

Filler cap

When you put the filler cap back on, turn it to the right (clockwise) until you hear three clicks. Make sure you fully install the cap.

The most effective way to prevent conden- sation forming in the tank (and thus avoid possible running problems) is to keep the tank well filled.

Before the onset of freezing temperatures in winter, it may be advisable to add gasoline anti-freeze to the fuel a few times to dispel any condensation in the system.

When refueling, hang the filler cap inside the fuel door

The fuel door has a built in filler cap holder slot located on the fuel door. Slide the white ring on the cap into the slot.

Notice: If you need a new fuel cap, be sure to get the right type. Your dealer can get one for you. If you get the wrong type, it may not fit properly
