Tighten Fuel Cap Message - Acura TL 2012 Owner's Manual

4. Stop filling the tank after the fuel
nozzle automatically clicks off. Do
not try to ''top off'' the tank. This
leaves some room in the fuel tank
for the fuel to expand with
temperature changes.
If the fuel nozzle keeps clicking off
even though the tank is not full,
there may be a problem with your
vehicle's fuel vapor recovery
system. The system helps keep
fuel vapor from going into the
atmosphere. Try filling at another
pump. If this does not fix the
problem, consult your dealer.
5. Screw the fuel fill cap back on
until it clicks at least once. If you
do not properly tighten the cap,
you will see a ''TIGHTEN FUEL
CAP'' message on the multi-
information display. If the system
still detects an evaporative system
leak after retightening the cap, the
malfunction indicator lamp may
come on (see page 597
6. Push the fuel fill door closed until
it latches.
