CAUTION!
• Damage to the fuel system or emission control
system could result from using an improper fuel
tank filler cap (gas cap). A poorly fitting cap could
let impurities into the fuel system.
• A poorly fitting gas cap may cause the "Malfunc-
tion Indicator Light (MIL)" to turn on.
• To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not "top
off" the fuel tank after filling.
WARNING!
• Never have any smoking materials lit in or near
the vehicle when the gas cap is removed or the
tank is being filled.
• Never add fuel when the engine is running. This is
in violation of most state and Federal fire regula-
tions and may cause the MIL to turn on.
• A fire may result if gasoline is pumped into a
portable container that is inside of a vehicle. You
could be burned. Always place gas containers on
the ground while filling.
NOTE:
• When the fuel nozzle "clicks" or shuts off, the fuel
tank is full.
• Tighten the gas cap about 1/4 turn until you hear one
click. This is an indication that cap is properly tight-
ened.
• If the gas cap is not tightened properly, the MIL will

come on. Be sure the gas cap is tightened every time
the vehicle is refueled.
