FUEL-FILLER CAP

WARNING

Gasoline is extremely flammable and

highly explosive under certain condi-
tions. You could be burned or seriously
injured if it is misused or mishandled.
Always stop the engine and do not
smoke or allow open flames or sparks
near the vehicle when refueling.

Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank

after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off
automatically. Continued refueling may
cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel
spray and possibly a fire.

Use only an original equipment type

fuel-filler cap as a replacement. It has a
built-in safety valve needed for proper
operation of the fuel system and emis-
sion control system. An incorrect cap
can result in a serious malfunction and
possible injury. It could also cause

the

malfunction indicator light

(MIIL) to come on.

Never pour fuel into the throttle body to

attempt to start your vehicle.

Do not fill a portable fuel container on a

truck bed liner, rubber truck bed mat, or
other insulating material. Static elec-
tricity can cause an explosion of flam-
mable liquid, vapor or gas in any vehicle
or trailer. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death when filling portable fuel
containers:

– Always place the container on the

ground when filling.

– Do not use electronic devices when

filling.

– Keep the pump nozzle in contact

with the container while you are fill-
ing it.

– Use only approved portable fuel con-

tainers for flammable liquid.

CAUTION

Only vehicles with the E-85 filler door

label can operate on E-85. Fuel system
or other damage can occur if E-85 is
used in vehicles that are not designed
to run on E-85.

The LOOSE FUEL CAP warning will ap-

pear if the fuel-filler cap is not properly
tightened. Failure to tighten the fuel-
filler cap properly after the LOOSE
FUEL CAP warning appears may cause

the

Malfunction Indicator Light

(MIL) to illuminate.
