ADDING FUEL
Locking Fuel Filler Cap (Gas Cap)
The locking gas cap is inside the fuel filler door,
on the left side of the vehicle. If the gas cap is
lost or damaged, be sure the replacement cap
is for use with this vehicle.
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Insert the ignition key into the fuel cap and
turn the key one-quarter turn to the right, then
rotate the fuel cap to the left to remove.
3. After removing the gas cap, place the gas
cap tether cable over a hook on the inside of the
fuel door. This keeps the gas cap suspended
away from and protects the vehicle's surface.
4. Rotate the ignition key back to the left to
remove.
5. To replace the cap, insert it into the filler neck
and tighten to the right until at least three clicks
are heard.
Loose Fuel Filler Cap Message
If the vehicle diagnostic system determines that
the fuel filler cap is loose or improperly installed,
a "gASCAP" message will be displayed in the
Odometer/Trip Odometer in the instrument clus-
ter. Refer to "Instrument Cluster Description" in
"Understanding Your Instrument Panel" for fur-
ther information. Tighten the fuel filler cap prop-
erly and press the odometer/trip odometer RE-
SET button to turn the message off. If the
problem continues, the message will appear the
next time the vehicle is started. Refer to "On-
board Diagnostic System" in "Maintaining Your
Vehicle" for further information.
