clockwise until it clicks. 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. If the fuel cap is not
properly installed, a message
appears on the Driver Information
Center (DIC) and the check engine
light will be lit on the instrument
cluster. See Fuel System Messages
