Remove the fuel fill cap slowly.
You may hear a hissing sound as
pressure inside the tank escapes.
Place the cap in the holder on the
fuel fill door.
Stop filling the tank after the fuel
nozzle automatically clicks off. Do
not try to ‘‘top off’’ the tank. Leave
some room for the fuel to expand
with temperature changes.
even though the tank is not full,
there may be a problem with your
vehicle’s fuel vapor recovery
system. The system helps keep
fuel vapors from going into the
atmosphere. Consult your dealer.
If your fuel cap is loose or missing, a
‘‘TIGHTEN FUEL CAP’’ message
appears on the multi-information
display after you turn the ignition
switch to the ON (II) position, after
you start the engine or while you are
driving. Turn the ignition switch off
and confirm the fuel cap is installed.
If it is, loosen the cap, then retighten
until it clicks at least once.
Screw the fuel fill cap back on
until it clicks at least once. If you
do not properly tighten the cap,
you will see a ‘‘TIGHTEN FUEL
CAP’’ message on the multi-
information display (see right
column on this page), and the
malfunction indicator lamp may
also come on (see page
).
Push the fuel fill door closed until
it latches.
