that it is fully tightened. If the cap
is not securely tightened, fuel
may leak out while the vehicle is
being driven or fuel spillage
could occur in the event of an
accident, creating a fire hazard.
. Do not let fuel spill on the exterior
surfaces of the vehicle. Because
fuel may damage the paint, be
sure to wipe off any spilled fuel
quickly. Paint damage caused by
spilled fuel is not covered under
the SUBARU Limited Warranty.
. We recommend that you always
use a genuine SUBARU fuel filler
cap. If you use the wrong cap, it
may not fit or have proper vent-
ing and your fuel tank and emis-
sion control system may be da-
maged. It could also lead to fuel
spillage and a fire.
. Immediately put fuel in the tank
whenever the low fuel warning
light illuminates. Engine misfires
as a result of an empty tank
could cause damage to the en-
gine.
NOTE
. You will see the “ ” sign in the fuel
gauge. This indicates that the fuel filler
door (lid) is located on the right side of
the vehicle.
. If the fuel filler cap is not tightened
until it clicks or if the tether is caught
under the cap, the malfunction indica-
tor lamp “
” may illuminate. Refer to
“
s03ae26Malfunction indicator lamp (Check
Engine light)” F3-17.
