WARNING:
Before working on or disconnecting any of the fuel tubes or fuel
system components, relieve the fuel system pressure to prevent
accidental spraying of fuel. Fuel in the fuel system remains under high
pressure, even when the engine is not running...
This helps to prevent you from locking yourself out of your vehicle if the key
is still in the ignition.
When you open one of the front doors and lock your vehicle with the power door
lock control, all the doors lock then unlock and the horn sounds twice if the key
is still in the ignition...
