CAUTION!

Damage to the fuel system or emission control
system could result from using an improper gas cap.
A poorly fitting cap could let impurities into the fuel
system. The CHECK ENGINE light will come on if
the gas cap is not properly secured.

NOTE:

The fuel tank filler tube has a restricting door

about 2 inches (50 mm) down from the opening. If fuel is
poured from a portable container, the container should
have a flexible nozzle long enough to force open the
restricting door.

CAUTION!

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

With the key in the ignition switch turned to the ON/
RUN position, the fuel reserve warning light comes on. It
should go out immediately when the engine is running.

If the warning light does not go out after starting the
engine, or if it comes on while driving, it indicates that
the fuel level is down to the reserve quantity of approxi-
mately 2.1 gallons (8 liters).

Leaving the engine running and the fuel cap open can
cause the CHECK ENGINE light to illuminate.

NOTE:

• When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the fuel

tank is full.

• Tighten the gas cap until you hear a single click. This

is an indication that the gas cap is properly tightene-
d.The CHECK ENGINE light will come on if the gas
cap is not properly secured. Make sure that the gas cap
is tightened each time the vehicle is refueled.
