Vehicle Loading; Vehicle Certification Label - Chrysler Journey User Manual

CAUTION! (Continued)
• A poorly fitting gas cap may cause the
"Malfunction Indicator Light" 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.
WARNING!
• The volatility of some gasoline may cause a
buildup of pressure in the fuel tank that may
increase while you drive. This pressure can
result in a spray of gasoline and/or vapors
when the cap is removed from a hot ve-
hicle. Removing the cap slowly allows the
pressure to vent and prevents fuel spray.
• Remove the fuel cap (gas cap) slowly to
prevent fuel spray from the filler neck which
may cause injury.
WARNING! (Continued)
• Never have any smoking materials lit in or
near the vehicle when the fuel cap is re-
moved or the tank 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.
Loose Fuel Filler Cap Message
If the vehicle diagnostic system determines
that the fuel filler cap is loose, improperly
installed, or damaged, the word "gASCAP" will
display in the odometer. If this occurs, tighten
the fuel filler cap until a "clicking" sound is
heard and press the TRIP ODOMETER button
to turn off the message. If the problem persists,
the message will appear the next time the
vehicle is started.
A loose, improperly installed, or damaged fuel
filler cap may also turn on the MIL. Refer to
"Onboard Diagnostic System — OBD II" in
(Continued) Section 7.
