prior to opening the fuel door.

CAUTION!
• Damage to the fuel system or emissions
control system could result from using an
improper fuel tank filler tube cap. A poorly
fitting cap could let impurities into the fuel
system and may cause the "Malfunction
Indicator Light (MIL)" to turn on, due to
fuel vapors escaping from the system.
• To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not
"top off" the fuel tank after filling.
WARNING!
• Never have any smoking materials lit in or
near the vehicle when the gas cap is re-
moved or the tank is being filled.
• Never add fuel when the engine is running.
This is in violation of most state and fed-
eral fire regulations and may cause the
MIL to turn on.
• 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 fuel filler cap until you hear a
"clicking" sound. This is an indication that
the fuel filler cap is properly tightened.
• If the gas cap is not tightened properly, the
MIL may come on. Be sure the gas cap is
tightened every time the vehicle is refueled.

Loose Fuel Filler Cap Message

If the vehicle diagnostic system determines that
the fuel filler cap is loose, improperly installed,
or damaged, a "gASCAP" message will display
in the odometer or a "Check Gascap" message
will display in the instrument cluster. If this
occurs, tighten the fuel filler cap properly and
press the Trip Odometer button to turn off the
message. If the problem continues, the mes-
sage will appear the next time the vehicle is
started.
A loose, improperly installed, or damaged fuel
filler cap may also turn on the MIL.
