CAUTION!

Damage to the fuel system or emission control sys-
tem could result from using an improper fuel cap
(gas cap). A poorly fitting cap could let impurities
into the fuel system. Also, a poorly fitting after-
market cap can cause the Malfunction Indicator Light
to illuminate, due to fuel vapors escaping from the
system.

CAUTION!

To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top
off” the fuel tank after filling.

NOTE:

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 filled.

Never add fuel when the engine is running. This is

in violation of most state and federal fire regula-
tions and will cause the Malfunction Indicator
Light to turn on.

NOTE:

Tighten the gas cap about 1/4 turn until you

hear one click. This is an indication that cap is properly
tightened.

If the gas cap is not tightened properly, the Malfunction
Indicator Light will come on. Be sure the gas cap is
tightened every time the vehicle is refueled.
