CAUTION!

Damage to the fuel system or emission control

system could result from using an improper fuel
cap (gas cap). A poorly fitting cap could let impu-
rities into the fuel system. Also, a poorly fitting
aftermarket cap can cause the “Malfunction Indi-
cator Light (MIL)” to illuminate, due to fuel vapors
escaping from the system.

A poorly fitting gas 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.

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 malfunction indicator light
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 one-quarter turn until you

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