fuel DODGE GRAND CARAVAN 2011 5.G Owner's Manual

ADDING FUEL
Fuel Filler Cap (Gas Cap)
• The gas cap is located behind the fuelfiller 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 system could result from
using an improper gas cap. A poorly fitting cap could let 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.
WARNING!
• Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the vehicle when the gas cap
is removed or the tank filled.
• Never add fuel when the engine is running. This is in violation of most state
and federal fire regulations and will cause the MIL to turn on.
• A fire may result if gasoline is pumped into a portable container that is inside
of a vehicle. You could be burned. Always place gas containers on the ground
while filling.
