do not properly tighten the cap,
the malfunction indicator lamp
may come on (see page
). You
will also see a ‘‘CHECK FUEL
CAP’’ message on the information
display.
even though the tank is not full,
there may be a problem with your
vehicle’s fuel vapor recovery
system. The system helps keep
fuel vapor from going into the
atmosphere. Try filling at another
pump. If this does not fix the
problem, consult your dealer.
Stop filling the tank after the fuel
nozzle automatically clicks off. Do
not try to ‘‘top off’’ the tank. Leave
some room for the fuel to expand
with temperature changes.
Remove the fuel fill cap slowly.
You may hear a hissing sound as
pressure inside the tank escapes.
Place the cap in the holder on the
fuel fill door.
Park with the driver’s side closest
to the service station pump.
Outside of the vehicle, open the
fuel fill door by pulling its notched
edge.
