MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE

ADDING FUEL

Fuel Filler Cap (Gas Cap)
The gas cap is located on the passenger side of the vehicle. If the gas cap is lost or
damaged, be sure the replacement cap is the correct one for this vehicle.
• Damage to the fuel system or emission control system could result from using
an improper fuel filler cap. A poorly fitting cap could let impurities into the fuel
system. Also, a poorly fitting aftermarket cap can cause the "Malfunction Indi-
cator Light (MIL)" to illuminate, due to fuel vapors escaping from the system.
• To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not "top off" the fuel tank after filling.
• 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. It may cause the MIL to turn on
and could cause a fire.
• 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 the cap is properly tightened.
• 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.
