NOTE:

• Tighten the gas cap until you hear a “clicking” sound.

This is an indication that the gas cap is tightened
properly. The Malfunction Indicator Light in the in-
strument cluster may turn on if the gas cap is not
secured properly. Make sure that the gas cap is tight-
ened 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 in loose, improperly installed, or damaged, a
“gASCAP” message will display in the instrument clus-
ter. Tighten the gas cap until a “clicking” sound is heard.
This is an indication that the gas cap is properly tight-
ened. Press the trip odometer reset button to turn off the
message. If the problem persists, the message will appear
the next time the vehicle is started. This might indicate a

damaged cap. If the problem is detected twice in a row,
the system will turn on the Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL). Resolving the problem will turn the MIL light off.
