can happen if the tank is nearly full, and is more
likely in hot weather. Open the fuel cap slowly and
wait for any hiss noise to stop. Then unscrew the
cap all the way.
Be careful not to spill fuel. Do not top off or overfill thetank and wait a few seconds after you have finishedpumping before removing the nozzle. Clean fuel frompainted surfaces as soon as possible. SeeWashingYour Vehicle on page 7!102.
When replacing the fuel cap, insert the tether in its holebefore tightening the cap. Turn the fuel cap clockwiseuntil it clicks. It will require more effort to turn the fuelcap on the last turn as you tighten it. Make sure the capis fully installed. The diagnostic system can determine ifthe fuel cap has been left off or improperly installed.This would allow fuel to evaporate into the atmosphere.SeeMalfunction Indicator Lamp on page 4!36
