ADDING FUEL
Fuel Filler Cap (Gas Cap)
• The gas cap is located behind the fuel filler door on the left side of the vehicle. If the
gas cap is lost or damaged, be sure the
replacement cap is for use with this vehicle.
• When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the fuel tank is full.
• Tighten the gas cap until you hear a “clicking” sound. This is an indication that
the gas cap is properly tightened. If not
properly tightened, the MIL (Malfunction
Indicator Light) may come on.
NOTE: The driver’s side sliding door cannot be opened while the fuel door is open.
CAUTION!
• Damage to the fuel system or emissions control sy stem could result from using an
improper gas cap. A poorly fitting cap could le t impurities into the fuel system and
may cause the MIL to turn on, due to fuel vapors escaping from the system.
• To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top off” the fuel tank after filling.
