When you put the fuel cap back on, turn it to the right
(clockwise) until you hear a clicking sound. 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 lndicator

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.
