ADDING FUEL
Fuel Filler Cap (Gas Cap)
The gas cap is behind the fuel filler door, on the left side
of the vehicle. If the gas cap is lost or damaged, be sure
the replacement cap is for use with this vehicle.
After removing the gas cap, place the gas cap tether cable
over a hook on the inside of the fuel door. This keeps the
gas cap suspended away from and protects the vehicle’s
surface.
CAUTION!
• A poorly fitting gas cap may cause the Malfunc-
tion Indicator Light (MIL) to turn on.
• To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top
off” the fuel tank after filling.
