few seconds after you have finished
pumping before removing the

surfaces as soon as possible.

When replacing the fuel cap, turn it
clockwise until it clicks once.
Make sure the cap is fully installed.
The diagnostic system can
determine if the fuel cap has been
left off or improperly installed. This
would allow fuel to evaporate into
the atmosphere. See Malfunction
Indicator Lamp on page 5 20.

type of cap from your dealer.
The wrong type of fuel cap might
not fit properly, might cause the

light, and could damage the fuel
