FIAT Freemont - Manual (Page 170)

NOTE: When removing the fuel filler cap, lay the cap
tether in the hook, located on the fuel filler door
reinforcement.
• Damage to the fuel system or emis-
sions 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 “Mal-
function 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 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.
•
Failure to follow this warning may result in
serious injury or death.
NOTE:
• Tighten the gas cap until you hear a “clicking” sound.
This is an indication that the gas cap is tightened
properly. 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.
• When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the fuel
tank is full.
