Gauges
Fuel Gauge
This shows how much fuel you have.
It may show slightly more or less
than the actual amount. The needle
returns to the bottom after you turn
off the ignition.
Avoid driving with an extremely low
f uel level. Running out of f uel could
cause the engine to misf ire, damaging
the catalytic converter.
Check Fuel Cap Indicator
(odometer/outside temperature
message)
If your fuel cap is loose or missing, a
''CHECK FUEL CAP'' message
appears as text in the odometer/
outside temperature display after
you start the engine. Turn the
engine off and confirm the fuel cap is
installed. If it is, loosen the cap, then
retighten it at least 3 clicks. When
you restart the engine, the message
66
appears again. To clear, press and
hold the Trip/Reset button until the
message is replaced by the
odometer/outside temperature
display.
If the system still detects a loose or
missing fuel cap, the Malfunction
Indicator Lamp (MIL) comes on.
Turn the engine off and check or
retighten the fuel cap at least 3 clicks.
The MIL goes out after 3 days of
normal driving once the cap is
tightened or replaced. If it does not
go out, have your dealer inspect the
vehicle. For more information, see
