(Continued)
REFUELING THE VEHICLE — GASOLINE
ENGINE
The fuel filler cap (gas cap) is located behind the fuel filler
door, on the left side of the vehicle. Open the fuel door and
remove the fuel filler cap by turning it counter-clockwise.
Fuel Filler Cap
1. Fully insert the gasoline nozzle into the filler pipe.
2. Fill the vehicle with fuel.
3. Remove gasoline nozzle, reinstall fuel cap and close
fuel filler door.
NOTE:
When removing the fuel filler cap, lay the cap tether in
the hook, located on the fuel filler door.
When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the fuel tank
is full.
Tighten the gas cap until you hear a “clicking” sound.
This is an indication that the gas cap is tightened prop-
erly. The MIL in the instrument cluster may turn on if
the gas cap is not secured properly. Make sure that the
gas cap is tightened each time the vehicle is refueled.
LOOSE FUEL FILLER CAP MESSAGE
If the vehicle diagnostic system determines that the fuel
filler cap is loose, improperly installed, or damaged, a
loose gASCAP indicator will display in the instrument
cluster telltale display area
Ú page 104. Tighten the fuel
filler cap properly and push the RIGHT button to turn off
the message. If the problem continues, the message will
appear the next time the vehicle is started.
WARNING!
Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the
vehicle when the gas cap is removed or the tank is
being filled.
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.
CAUTION!
Damage to the fuel system or emissions control
system could result from using an improper fuel tank
filler tube cap.
A poorly fitting fuel filler cap could let impurities into
the fuel system.
A poorly fitting fuel filler 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!
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.
CAUTION!
