ADDING FUEL
Fuel Filler Cap (Gas Cap)
• The gas cap is located behind the fuel
filler door on the left side of the ve-
hicle. If the gas cap is lost or damaged,
be sure the replacement cap is for use
with this vehicle.
• When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts
off, the fuel tank is full.
• Tighten the gas cap until you hear a
“clicking” sound. This is an indication
that the gas cap is properly tightened.
If not properly tightened, the MIL (Mal-
function Indicator Light) may come on.
NOTE:
The driver’s side sliding door cannot be
opened while the fuel door is open.
CAUTION!
• Damage to the fuel system or emissions control system could result from using
an improper gas cap. A poorly fitting cap could let impurities into the fuel
system and may cause the MIL to turn on, due to fuel vapors escaping from the
system.
• To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top off” the fuel tank after filling.
WARNING!
• Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the vehicle when the gas cap
is removed or the tank filled.
• Never add fuel when the engine is running. This is in violation of most state and
federal fire regulations and/or local bylaws, and will cause the MIL to turn on.
• 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.
