7-6 Starting and operating

. When opening the cap, grasp it

firmly and turn it slowly to the

left. Do not remove the cap

quickly. Fuel may be under pres-

sure and spray out of the fuel

filler neck, especially in hot

weather. If you hear a hissing

sound while you are removing

the cap, wait for the sound to

stop and then slowly open the

cap to prevent fuel from spraying

out and creating a fire hazard.

3. Set the fuel filler cap on the cap holder

inside the fuel filler lid (WRX STI).

4. Hook the cord that is attached to the

fuel filler cap onto the hook inside the fuel

filler lid (except WRX STI).

WARNING

. When refueling, insert the fuel

nozzle securely into the fuel filler

pipe. If the nozzle is lifted or not

fully inserted, its automatic stop-

matic stop mechanism on the

fuel nozzle activates. If you con-

tinue to add fuel, temperature

the tank and create a fire hazard.

5. Stop filling the tank after the fuel filler

pump automatically stops. Do not add any

more fuel.

6. Put the cap back on, turn it clockwise

until you hear a clicking noise. Be certain

not to catch the tether under the cap while

tightening.

7. Close the fuel filler lid completely.

If you spill any fuel on the painted surface,

gauge. This indicates that the fuel filler

door (lid) is located on the right side of

the vehicle.

. If the fuel filler cap is not tightened

until it clicks or if the tether is caught

under the cap, the CHECK ENGINE
