When replacing the fuel cap, turn
it clockwise until it clicks. Make
sure the cap is fully installed. The
diagnostic system can determine if
the fuel cap has been left off or
improperly installed. This would
allow fuel to evaporate into the
atmosphere. If the fuel cap is
not properly installed, the FUEL
CAP message appears on the
Driver Information Center (DIC)
and the check engine light will be
lit on the instrument panel cluster.
See Fuel System Messages on
page 5‑27 and Malfunction Indicator
Lamp on page 5‑14 for more
information.

type of cap from your dealer.
The wrong type fuel cap might
not fit properly, might cause the

light, and could damage the fuel
tank and emissions system. See
Malfunction Indicator Lamp on
page 5‑14.
