NOTE:
When removing the fuel filler cap, lay the cap
tether in the hook, located on the fuel filler door.
WARNING!
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 to the vehicle when the engine

is running.
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.
CAUTION!
Damage to the fuel system or emissions

control system could result from using an
improper fuel tank filler tube cap.
A poorly fitting fuel filler cap could let impuri-

ties into the fuel system.
A poorly fitting fuel filler cap may cause the

Malfunction 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.
NOTE:
When the fuel nozzle "clicks" or shuts off, the

fuel tank is full.
Tighten the gas cap until you hear a "clicking"

sound. This is an indication that the gas cap is
tightened properly. The MIL in the instrument
cluster may turn on if the gas cap is not secured
properly. Make sure that the gas cap is tight-
ened each time the vehicle is refueled.
