Securing the Fuel Cap
If (Check Gas Cap message), locat-
ed in your instrument cluster, illuminates
when the ignition is turned to on or start,
check to see whether your fuel cap is
securely fastened. If the cap is not
secure, turn it clockwise until a clicking
sound is heard, indicating that it is prop-
erly installed.
See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.
Fuel Economy
A variety of factors can affect your fuel
economy. They include:
• Vehicle maintenance
• Driving technique
• Proper tire pressure
• Vehicle loads
• Roof (luggage) rack use
• Trailering
• Air temperature/density; headwinds
For best fuel economy:
• Drive with the transaxle selector in
Automatic Overdrive (D)
• Use only your right foot to activate
the brake pedal
• Avoid “jackrabbit” starts and maintain
a set speed during steady-state
driving
• Maintain proper tire pressure (check
with every fuel-up)
• Keep the vehicle on the recommend-
ed maintenance schedule
• Load cargo on the roof rack for long
trips only when necessary
• Understand that trailering reduces
fuel economy
