The cap is behind
a
hinged door
on
the passenger’s side
of
your vehicle. On four-door models, use the key to the
vehicle to unlock the
fuel
door.
To take off the cap, turn it slowly
to
the left
(counterclockwise).

CAUTION:
If
you
get gasoline on yourself and then
something ignites it, you could be badly burned.
Gasoline can spray out on you
if
you open the
fuel filler cap
too
quickly. This spray can happen
if your tank is nearly full, and is more likely in
hot weather. Open the fuel filler cap slowly and
wait for any “hiss” noise
to
stop. Then unscrew
the cap all the
way.
Be careful
not
to
spill gasoline. Clean gasoline from
painted surfaces
as
soon
as
possible. See “Cleaning the
Outside of Your Geo”
in
the Index.
When you put the cap back on, turn it to the right
(clockwise)
until
you hear at least 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”
in
the Index.

NOTICE:
If
you need a new 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 or have proper
venting. This may cause
your
malfunction
indicator lamp to light and your fuel tank and
emissions system may be damaged. See
“Malfunction Indicator Lamp” in the Index.
