‘‘CHECK FUEL CAP’’ message
appears in the information display
after you start the engine. Turn the

Turn the engine off, and check or
retighten the fuel fill cap until it

driving once the cap is tightened or
replaced. If it does not go out, have
your dealer inspect the vehicle. For
more information, see page .
