CAUTION!
•
Damage to the fuel system or emission control
system could result from using an improper fuel
cap (gas cap). A poorly fitting cap could let impu-
rities into the fuel system. Also, a poorly fitting
aftermarket cap can cause the Malfunction Indica-
tor Light (MIL) to illuminate, due to fuel vapors
escaping from the system.
•
A poorly fitting gas cap may cause the MIL to turn
on.
•
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top
off” the fuel tank after filling.
NOTE: When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the
fuel tank is full.
WARNING!
•
Never have any smoking materials lit in or near
the vehicle when the gas cap is removed or the
tank filled.
•
Never add fuel when the engine is running. This is
in violation of most state and federal fire regula-
tions and will cause the MIL to turn on.
NOTE: Tighten the gas cap about one quarter turn until
you hear one click. This is an indication that the 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.
