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 Indicator Lamp
on
page
3-47.
The malfunction indicator lamp (SERVICE ENGINE
SOON or CHECK ENGINE light) will come on
if
the
fuel cap is not properly installed.
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. See “Malfunction Indicator Lamp”
in
the
Index.
