This message displays if the fuel cap has not been fully
tightened. Check the fuel cap to make sure that it is on
properly. Once tightened, it takes at least one overnight
park to reset or clear this message. If both the CHECK
GAS CAP message and the malfunction indicator lamp in
the instrument panel cluster are on, you may need to see
your dealer/retailer for service. See Malfunction Indicator
Lamp on page 3-43 for more information.
CHECK OIL LEVEL
On some vehicles, this message displays and
two chimes sound if the oil level in the vehicle is low.
Once the vehicle senses a change in the engine

to add oil. See Engine Overheating on page 5-31.
To acknowledge the message, press the RESET button.
The message reappears every 10 minutes until this
condition changes.
