CAUTION! (Continued)
• To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not "top
off" the fuel tank after filling. When the fuel nozzle
"clicks" or shuts off, the fuel tank is full.
NOTE:
• When the fuel nozzle "clicks" or shuts off, the fuel tank
is full.
• Tighten the gas cap until you hear a "clicking" sound. This
is an indication that the gas cap is tightened properly. The
MIL in the instrument cluster may turn on if the gas cap is
not secured properly. Make sure that the gas cap is tight-
ened each time the vehicle is refueled.
Loose Fuel Filler Cap Message
If the vehicle diagnostic system determines that the fuel filler
cap is loose, improperly installed, or damaged, the word
"gASCAP" will display in the odometer. If this occurs, tighten
the fuel filler cap until a "clicking" sound is heard and push
the TRIP ODOMETER button to turn off the message. If the
problem persists, the message will appear the next time the
vehicle is started.
A loose, improperly installed, or damaged fuel filler cap may
also turn on the MIL. Refer to "Onboard Diagnostic System" in
"Maintaining Your Vehicle" for further information.
