explosive under certain conditions. You
could be burned or seriously injured if it is
misused or mishandled. Always stop engine
and do not smoke or allow open flames or
sparks near the vehicle when refueling.
● Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank after
the fuel pump nozzle shuts off automati-
cally. Continued refueling may cause fuel
overflow, resulting in fuel spray and possi-
bly a fire.
● Use only an original equipment type fuel-
filler cap as a replacement. It has a built-in
safety valve needed for proper operation of
the fuel system and emission control sys-
tem. An incorrect cap can result in a serious
malfunction and possible injury. It could
also cause the malfunction indicator
light (MIL) to come on.
● Never pour fuel into the throttle body to at-
tempt to start your vehicle.Sedan SPA2554

● Do not fill a portable fuel container in the
vehicle or trailer. Static electricity can cause
an explosion of flammable liquid, vapor or
gas in any vehicle or trailer. To reduce the
risk of serious injury or death when filling
portable fuel containers:
– Always place the container on the ground
when filling.
– Do not use electronic devices when filling.
– Keep the pump nozzle in contact with the
container while you are filling it.
– Use only approved portable fuel contain-
ers for flammable liquid. CAUTION● If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body, flush it
away with water to avoid paint damage.
● Insert the cap straight into the fuel-filler
tube, then tighten until the fuel-filler cap
clicks. Failure to tighten the fuel-filler cap
properly may cause the malfunction
indicator light (MIL) to illuminate. If the
light illuminates because the fuel-
filler cap is loose or missing, tighten or in-
stall the cap and continue to drive the ve-
hicle. The light should turn off after a
few driving trips. If the light does not
turn off after a few driving trips, have the
vehicle inspected by an INFINITI retailer.
● If your vehicle is equipped with the LOOSE
FUEL CAP warning, the LOOSE FUEL CAP
warning will illuminate if the fuel-filler cap is
not properly tightened. Failure to tighten the
fuel-filler cap properly after the LOOSE FUEL
CAP warning illuminates may cause the
malfunction indicator light (MIL) to
illuminate. To remove the fuel-filler cap:
1. Turn the fuel-filler cap counterclockwise to
remove.
2. Put the fuel-filler cap on the cap holder
 A
while refueling.
To install the fuel-filler cap:
1. Insert the fuel-filler cap straight into the

LOOSE FUEL CAP warning (if so
equipped) The LOOSE FUEL CAP warning appears on the
dot matrix liquid crystal display when the fuel-
filler cap is not tightened correctly after the
vehicle has been refueled.
To turn off the warning, perform the following:
1. Remove and install the fuel-filler cap as
soon as possible. (See “FUEL-FILLER
CAP”).
2. Tighten the fuel-filler cap until it clicks.
3. Push the reset switch

warning after tightening the fuel cap. WARNING● Do not adjust the steering wheel while driv-
ing. You could lose control of your vehicle
and cause an accident.
● Do not adjust the steering wheel any closer
to you than is necessary for proper steering
operation and comfort. The driver’s air bag
inflates with great force. If you are unre-
strained, leaning forward, sitting sideways
or out of position in any way, you are at
greater risk of injury or death in a crash. You
may also receive serious or fatal injuries
from the air bag if you are up against it when
it inflates. Always sit back against the seat-
back and as far away as practical from the
steering wheel. Always use the seat belts.Coupe SPA2721 SPA2802
