This would allow fuel to evaporate into the
atmosphere. If the fuel cap is not properly installed,
the FUEL CAP message will appear on the
Driver Information Center (DIC) and the check
engine light will be lit on the instrument panel
cluster. See DIC Warnings and Messages
on page 198 and Malfunction Indicator Lamp on
page 188
for more information.

CAUTION:

If a fire starts while you are refueling, do
not remove the nozzle. Shut off the flow of
fuel by shutting off the pump or by
notifying the station attendant. Leave the
area immediately.

Notice: If you need a new fuel cap, be sure to
get the right type. Your dealer can get one
for you. If you get the wrong type, it may not
fit properly. This may cause your malfunction
indicator lamp to light and may damage
your fuel tank and emissions system. See
Malfunction Indicator Lamp
on page 188.

Filling a Portable Fuel Container

{

CAUTION:

Never fill a portable fuel container while it
is in your vehicle. Static electricity
discharge from the container can ignite the
gasoline vapor. You can be badly burned
and your vehicle damaged if this occurs.
To help avoid injury to you and others:

Dispense gasoline only into approved
containers.

Do not fill a container while it is inside a
vehicle, in a vehicle’s trunk, pickup
bed, or on any surface other than the
ground.

Bring the fill nozzle in contact with the
inside of the fill opening before
operating the nozzle. Contact should
be maintained until the filling is
complete.

Do not smoke while pumping gasoline.
