Be careful not to spill fuel. Don’t top off or overfill your
tank, and wait a few seconds after you have finished
pumping before you remove the nozzle. Clean fuel from
painted surfaces as soon as possible. See

Cleaning

the Outside of Your Vehicle on page 5-93

.

When you put the fuel cap back on, turn it to the right
(clockwise) until you hear three “clicks.” Make sure
you fully install the cap. The diagnostic system
can determine if the fuel cap has been left off or
improperly installed. This would allow fuel to evaporate
into the atmosphere. See

Malfunction Indicator Lamp

on page 3-40

CAUTION:

If a fire starts while you’re refueling, don’t
remove the nozzle. Shut off the flow of fuel by
shutting off the pump or by notifying the
station attendant. Leave the area immediately.

Notice:

If you need a new fuel cap, be sure to get the

right type. Your dealer can get one for you. If you get
the wrong type, it may not fit properly. This may
cause your malfunction indicator lamp to light and
may damage your fuel tank and emissions system.
See “Malfunction Indicator Lamp” in the Index.
