WARNING!

(Continued)

Never add fuel when the engine is running. This is

in violation of most state and federal fire regula-
tions and may 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.

NOTE:
• When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the fuel tank

is full.

• Tighten the fuel filler cap until you hear a “clicking”

sound. This is an indication that the fuel filler cap is

properly tightened.

• If the gas cap is not tightened properly, the MIL may

come on. Be sure the gas cap is tightened every time

the vehicle is refueled.

Loose Fuel Filler Cap Message
If the vehicle diagnostic system determines that the fuel

filler cap is loose, improperly installed, or damaged, a

“Check fuel cap” message will be displayed in the

Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC). Refer to

“Electronic Vehicle Information Center” in “Understand-

ing Your Instrument Panel” for further information.

Tighten the fuel filler cap until a “clicking” sound is

heard. This is an indication that the fuel filler cap is

properly tightened. Refer to “Onboard Diagnostic

System” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further infor-

mation.
If the problem continues, the message will appear the

next time the vehicle is started. See your authorized

dealer as soon as possible.
