Filling A Portable Fuel; Container - GMC 2016 Acadia User Manual

232 Driving and Operating
To remove the fuel cap, turn it
slowly counterclockwise. The fuel
cap has a spring in it; if the cap is
released too soon, it will spring back
to the right.
While refueling, hang the fuel cap
from the hook on the fuel door.
Warning
Overfilling the fuel tank by more
than three clicks of a standard fill
nozzle may cause:
Vehicle performance issues,
including engine stalling and
damage to the fuel system.
Fuel spills.
Potential fuel fires.
Be careful not to spill fuel. Wait a
few seconds after you have finished
pumping before removing the
nozzle. Clean fuel from painted
surfaces as soon as possible. See
Exterior Care 0 311.
When replacing the fuel cap, turn it
clockwise until it clicks. Make sure
the cap is fully installed. If the cap is
not properly installed, the
malfunction indicator lamp may
come on. See Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (Check Engine Light) 0 117.
Warning
If a fire starts while you are
refueling, do not remove the
nozzle. Shut off the flow of fuel by
shutting off the pump or by
notifying the station attendant.
Leave the area immediately.
Caution
If a new fuel cap is needed, be
sure to get the right type of cap
from your dealer. The wrong type
of fuel cap may not fit properly,
may cause the malfunction
indicator lamp to light, and could
damage the fuel tank and
emissions system. See
Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(Check Engine Light) 0 117.
