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 fuel filler cap about 1/4 turn until you hear

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

tightened.

• If the fuel filler cap is not tightened properly, the MIL

will come on. Be sure the 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.
