CAUTION!

Damage to the fuel system or emission control

system could result from using an improper fuel
filler cap. A poorly fitting cap could let impurities
into the fuel system. Also, a poorly fitting aftermar-
ket cap can cause the “Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL)” to illuminate, due to fuel vapors escaping
from the system.

A poorly fitting fuel filler cap may cause the MIL to

turn on.

To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top

off” the fuel tank after filling.

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.
