ADDING FUEL
Locking Fuel Filler Cap (Gas Cap)
The locking gas cap is located on the left side of
the vehicle. If the gas cap is lost or damaged, be
sure the replacement cap is the correct one for
this vehicle.
1. Turn off engine.
2. Insert the ignition key into the fuel cap and
turn the key one-quarter turn to the right, then
rotate the fuel cap to the left to remove.
3. Rotate the ignition key back to the left to
remove.
4. To replace the cap, insert it into the filler neck
and tighten to the right until at least three clicks
are heard.
CAUTION!
•
Damage to the fuel system or emissions
control system could result from using an
improper fuel tank filler tube cap (gas cap).
•
A poorly fitting gas cap could let impurities
into the fuel system.
•
A poorly fitting gas cap may cause the
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) 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.
WARNING!
•
Remove the fuel tank filler tube cap (gas
cap) slowly to prevent fuel spray from the
filler neck, which may cause injury.
•
The volatility of some gasolines may cause
a buildup of pressure in the fuel tank that
may increase while you drive. This pres-
sure can result in a spray of gasoline
and/or vapors when the cap is removed
from a hot vehicle. Removing the cap
slowly allows the pressure to vent and
prevents fuel spray.
•
Never have any smoking materials lit in or
near the vehicle when the gas cap is
removed or the tank is being 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.
