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 when the engine is running. This is

in violation of most state and federal fire regula-
tions and may cause the MIL to turn on.

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:

• When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the fuel tank

is full.

• Tighten the fuel filler cap until you hear a “clicking”

sound. This is an indication that the fuel filler cap is
properly tightened.

• If the gas cap is not tightened properly, the MIL may

come on. Be sure the gas cap is tightened every time
the vehicle is refueled.

Loose Fuel Filler Cap Message

If the vehicle diagnostic system determines that the fuel
filler cap is loose, improperly installed, or damaged, a
“gASCAP” message will display in the odometer or a
“CHECK GASCAP” message will be displayed in the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC). Refer to
“Electronic Vehicle Information Center” in “Understand-
ing Your Instrument Panel” for further information.
Tighten the fuel filler cap until a “clicking” sound is
heard. This is an indication that the fuel filler cap is
properly tightened. Refer to “Onboard Diagnostic Sys-
tem” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further informa-
tion.
