Adding Fuel; Locking Fuel Filler Cap (Gas Cap) - Jeep Compass 2015 Operating Information Manual

WARNING!
Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust gases is
deadly. Follow the precautions below to pre-
vent carbon monoxide poisoning:
• Do not inhale exhaust gases. They contain
carbon monoxide, a colorless and odor-
less gas which can kill. Never run the
engine in a closed area, such as a garage,
and never sit in a parked vehicle with the
engine running for an extended period. If
the vehicle is stopped in an open area with
the engine running for more than a short
period, adjust the ventilation system to
force fresh, outside air into the vehicle.
• Guard against carbon monoxide with
proper maintenance. Have the exhaust
system inspected every time the vehicle is
raised. Have any abnormal conditions re-
paired promptly. Until repaired, drive with
all side windows fully open.

WARNING! (Continued)
• Keep the liftgate closed when driving your
vehicle to prevent carbon monoxide and
other poisonous exhaust gases from en-
tering the vehicle.

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
(Continued)
the fuel door. This keeps the gas cap sus-
pended away from and protects the vehicle's
surface.
4. Rotate the ignition key back to the left to
remove the key from the cap.
5. To replace the cap, insert it into the filler neck
and tighten to the right until at least one click
is heard.
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 tightened.
