There may also be a light that comes on in the
instrument panel to let you know if your gas cap
is not properly installed. See Check Gas Cap Light
on page 197 for more information.

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

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.
