4. When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the fuel tank is full.
5.
After you have stopped pumping fuel, remove the fuel filler nozzle and replace the fuel filler cap.
6. Tighten the gas cap about one-quarter turn until you hear one click. This is an indication that
the cap is properly tightened.
7. To close the fuel filler door, push the center-rear edge of the fuel filler door and then release.
The fuel door will close.
WARNING!
• Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the vehicle when the gas cap is removed or
the tank is being filled.
• Never add fuel when the engine is running. This is in violation of most state and federal fire
regulations and may cause the malfunction indicator light 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.
CAUTION!
• Damage to the fuel system or emission control system could result from using an improper
fuel filler cap. A poorly fitting cap could let impurities into the fuel system. Also, a poorly
fitting aftermarket cap can cause the “Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)” to illuminate,
due to fuel vapors escaping from the system.
• A poorly fitting fuel filler cap may cause the MIL to turn on.
• To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top off” the fuel tank after filling.
NOTE:
If the gas cap is not tighten properly, the MIL will come on. Be sure the gas cap is tightened every
time the vehicle is refueled.
