ket 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.
1. Put the vehicle in park and switch the ignition off.
2. Push the center-rear edge of the fuel filler door

3. Insert the fuel nozzle fully into the filler pipe, the
nozzle opens and holds the flapper door while refuel-
ing.
4. When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the fuel
tank is full.
