ADDING FUEL

Fuel Filler Cap (Gas Cap)

The gas cap is located 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 has been designed for use
with this vehicle.

NOTE:

When removing the fuel filler cap, lay the cap

tether in the hook, located on the fuel filler door rein-
forcement.

CAUTION!

Damage to the fuel system or emissions control

system could result from using an improper fuel
tank filler tube cap (gas cap).

A poorly fitting gas cap could let impurities into

the fuel system.

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. When the fuel
nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the fuel tank is full.
