2. There is no fuel filler cap. A flap door inside the pipe
seals the system.
3. Insert the fuel nozzle into the filler pipe (the nozzle
opens and holds the flap door while refueling) and
start refueling. When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts
off, the fuel tank is full.
4. At the end of refueling, before removing the nozzle,
wait at least 10 seconds to allow the fuel to flow
within the tank.
5. Remove the fuel nozzle from the filler pipe and then
close the fuel door.
Emergency Gas Can Refueling:
Most gas cans will not open the flapper door.
A funnel is provided to open the flapper door to allow
emergency refueling with a gas can.
1. Retrieve the appropriate funnel from the storage area
in the luggage compartment.
2. Insert funnel into same filler pipe opening as the fuel
nozzle.
3. Ensure funnel is inserted fully to hold flapper door
open.

WARNING!
•
Never have any smoking materials lit in or near
the vehicle when the fuel door is open or the tank
is being filled.

is in violation of most state and federal fire
regulations and may cause the “Malfunction In-
dicator Light” to turn on.
•
A fire may result if fuel is pumped into a portable
container that is inside of a vehicle. You could be
burned.
Always
place
fuel
containers
on

ground while filling.
CAUTION!
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top
off” the fuel tank after filling.

DRIVING TIPS
Driving On Slippery Surfaces
Information in this section will aid in safe controlled
launches in adverse conditions.
Acceleration
Rapid acceleration on snow covered, wet, or other
slippery surfaces may cause the driving wheels to pull
erratically to the right or left. This phenomenon occurs
when there is a difference in the surface traction under
the rear (driving) wheels.
WARNING!
Rapid acceleration on slippery surfaces is danger-
ous. Unequal traction can cause sudden pulling of
the rear wheels. You could lose control of the
vehicle and possibly have a collision. Accelerate
slowly and carefully whenever there is likely to be
poor traction (ice, snow, wet, mud, loose sand, etc.).
162
STARTING AND OPERATING
Traction
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 known as hydroplaning and may cause
partial or complete loss of vehicle control and stopping
ability. To reduce this possibility, the following precau-
tions should be observed:
•
Slow down during rainstorms or when the roads are
slushy.
•
Slow
down
if
the
road
has
standing
water
or
puddles.
•
Replace tires when tread wear indicators first become
visible.
•
Keep tires properly inflated.
•
Maintain sufficient distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle in front of you to avoid a collision in
a sudden stop.
Your vehicle may be equipped with a Limited Slip
Differential (LSD) that reduces, but does not eliminate,
the
amount
of
wheel
slip
across
a
given
axle
for
improved handling.
Driving Through Water
Driving
through
water
more
than
a
few
inches/
centimeters deep will require extra caution to ensure
safety and prevent damage to your vehicle.
Flowing/Rising Water
WARNING!
Do not drive on or across a road or path where water
is flowing and/or rising (as in storm run-off). Flow-
ing water can wear away the road or path’s surface
and cause your vehicle to sink into deeper water.
Furthermore, flowing and/or rising water can carry
your vehicle away swiftly. Failure to follow this
warning may result in injuries that are serious or
fatal to you, your passengers, and others around
you.
Shallow Standing Water
Although your vehicle is capable of driving through
shallow standing water, consider the following Cau-
tions and Warnings before doing so.
