WARNING! (Continued)

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 gas cap about 1/4 turn until you hear one

click. This is an indication that the cap is properly
tightened.

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

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

Loose Fuel Filler Cap Message

After fuel has been added, the vehicle diagnostic system
can determine if the fuel filler cap is possibly loose,
improperly installed, or damaged. If the system detects a
malfunction, the “gASCAP” message will display in the
odometer display. Tighten the gas cap until a

ЉclickingЉ

sound is heard. This is an indication that the gas cap is
properly tightened. Press the odometer reset button to
turn the message off. 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 MIL. Resolving
the problem will turn the MIL off.
