Fuel Filler Cap
NOTE: When removing the fuel filler cap, lay the cap
tether in the hook, located on the fuel filler door.
CAUTION!
- Damage to the fuel system or emissions control
system could result from using an improper fuel
tank filler tube cap (gas cap).
- A poorly fitting gas cap could let impurities into
the fuel system.
- A poorly fitting gas cap may cause the "Malfunction
Indicator Light (MIL)" to turn on.
- To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not "top
off" the fuel tank after filling. When the fuel
nozzle "clicks" or shuts off, the fuel tank is full.
WARNING!
- Never add fuel to the vehicle when the engine is
running.
- A fire may result if gasoline is pumped into a
portable container that is inside of a vehicle. You
could be burned. Always place gas containers on
the ground while filling.
NOTE:
WARNING!
Static electricity can cause an ignition of flammable
liquid, vapor or gas in any vehicle or trailer. To
reduce risk of serious injury or death when filling
containers:
- Always place container on the ground before filling.
- Keep the pump nozzle in contact with the container
when you are filling it.
- Use only approved containers for flammable liquid.
- Do not leave container unattended while filling.
- A static electric charge could cause a spark and fire
hazard.

determines
that the fuel filler cap is loose, improperly

Tighten the fuel filler cap properly and press
the SELECT button to turn off the message. If the
