Damage to the fuel system or emis-
sions control system could result from
using an improper fuel tank filler tube
cap (gas cap).
• A poorly fitting gas cap could let impurities into
the fuel system.
• A poorly fitting gas cap may cause the "Mal-
function Indicator Light (MIL)" to turn on.
• To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling,do not"top
off " the fuel tank after filling. When the fuel
nozzle "clicks" or shuts off, the fuel tank is full.
WARNING!
• Never have any smoking materials lit
in or near the vehicle when the gas cap is
removed or the tank is being filled.
