3. Remove the fuel fill cap slowly.
You may hear a hissing sound as
pressure inside the tank escapes.
Place the fuel fill cap in the holder
on the fuel fill door. To prevent the
fuel fill cap from becoming lost, it
is attached to the fuel filler with a
tether.
4. 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.
If the fuel nozzle keeps clicking off
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 vapor from going into the
atmosphere. Try filling at another
pump. If this does not fix the
problem, consult your dealer.
Gasoline is highly flammable
and explosive. You can be
burned or seriously injured
when handling fuel.
● Stop the engine, and keep
heat, sparks, and flame
away.
● Handle fuel only outdoors.
● Wipe up spills immediately.
5. Screw the fuel fill cap back on until
it clicks at least once. If you do not
properly tighten the cap, the
malfunction indicator lamp may
come on (see page 306). You will
also see a
‘‘CHECK FUEL CAP’’
message on the information
display.
6. Push the fuel fill door closed until
it latches.
