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 when the engine is running. This is
in violation of most state and federal fire regulations
and may cause the MIL to turn on.
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:
When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the fuel tank
is full.
Tighten the gas cap about ¼ turn until you hear one
click. This is an indication that cap is properly tightened.
If the gas cap is not tightened properly, the MIL will
come on. Be sure the gas cap is tightened every time the
vehicle is refueled.
Loose Fuel Filler Cap Message
If the vehicle diagnostic system determines that the fuel
filler cap is loose or improperly installed, a “gASCAP”
message will be displayed in the Odometer/Trip Odom-
eter in the instrument cluster. Refer to “Warning And
Indicator Lights” in “Getting To Know Your Instrument
Panel” for further information. Tighten the fuel filler cap
properly and push the odometer/trip odometer RESET
button to turn the message off. If the problem continues,
the message will appear the next time the vehicle is started.
Refer to “Onboard Diagnostic System” in “Getting To
Know Your Instrument Panel” for further information.
