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.

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.

Loose Fuel Filler Cap Message
If the vehicle diagnostic system determines that the fuel

filler cap is loose, improperly installed, or damaged, a

“Check Gascap” message will display in the Electronic

Vehicle Information Center (EVIC). If this occurs, tighten

the fuel filler cap properly and press the TRIP ODOM-

ETER button to turn off the message. If the problem

continues, the message will appear the next time the

vehicle is started.
A loose, improperly installed, or damaged fuel filler cap

may also turn on the MIL. Refer to “Onboard Diagnostic

System” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further

information.
