fuel JEEP CHEROKEE 2016 KL / 5.G Owner's Manual

CAUTION!
• Damage to the fuel system or emission control system could result from usingan improper fuel filler cap. A poorly fitting cap could let impurities into the fuel
system. Also, a poorly fitting aftermarket cap can cause the “Malfunction
Indicator Light (MIL)” to illuminate, due to fuel vapors escaping from the
system.
• A poorly fitting fuel filler cap may cause the MIL to turn on.
•
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 is being filled.
• Never add fuel when the engine is running. This is in violation of most state and
federal fire regulations and may 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.
Emergency Fuel Filler Door Release
If you are unable to open the fuel filler door, use the fuel filler door emergency
release.
1. Open the liftgate.
2. Remove access door located on right interior trim panel for release cable with the tip of your key.
3. Grab the release cable tether and pull up to release the fuel filler door.
Loose Fuel Filler Cap Message
If the vehicle diagnostic system determines that the fuel filler cap is loose,
improperly installed, or damaged, a “CHECK GASCAP” message will be displayed in
the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) or Driver Information Display (DID).
Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information (EVIC) or "Driver Information Display (DID)”
in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for further information. Tighten the fuel
filler cap until a “clicking” sound is heard. This is an indication that the fuel filler cap
is properly tightened. Refer to “Onboard Diagnostic System” in “Maintaining Your
Vehicle” for further information.
