Be careful not to spill fuel. Don’t top off or overfill your
tank and wait a few seconds after you’ve finished
pumping before you remove the nozzle. Clean any
spilled fuel from painted surfaces as soon as possible.
See Cleaning the Outside of Your Vehicle on
page 5-95.
When you put the fuel cap back on, turn it to the right
(clockwise) until you hear a clicking sound. Make
sure you fully install the cap. 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. See Malfunction Indicator Lamp on
page 3-38.
Notice: If you need a new fuel cap, be sure to get
the right type. Your dealer can get one for you.
If you get the wrong type, it may not fit properly.
This may cause your malfunction indicator lamp to
light and may damage your fuel tank and emissions
system. See Malfunction Indicator Lamp on
page 3-38.
