Tightening torque: 7.5 N.m (0.8 kgf.m, 5.5 ft.lb)

2. Install the evaporation pipe protector.

Tightening torque: 7.5 N.m (0.8 kgf.m, 5.5 ft.lb)

3. Install the right side rear quarter trim.
4. Connect the evaporation hose.

5. Install the rear mud guard RH.

2. CONNECTING THE FUEL LINE QUICK CONNECTOR

CAUTION:
- Make sure there are no damage or dust on connections. If necessary, clean seal surface of pipe.

- When reusing the retainer, make sure that neither scratches nor deformation exist on the retainer. If it is faulty, use a new part.

1. Connect the quick connector to pipe.

CAUTION:
