FUEL-FILLER CAP
WARNING
●Gasoline is extremely flammable and
highly explosive under certain condi-
tions. You could be burned or seriously
injured if it is misused or mishandled.
Always stop the 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
automatically. Continued refueling may
cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel
spray and possibly 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 emis-
sion control system. 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
attempt to start your vehicle. ●
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 con- tainers for flammable liquid.
CAUTION
●Failure to tighten the fuel-filler cap prop-
erly may cause the
Malfunction
Indicator Light (MIL) to illuminate. If
the
light illuminates because
the fuel-filler cap is loose or missing,
tighten or install the cap and continue to
drive the vehicle. 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 in-
spected by a NISSAN dealer.
● The LOOSE FUEL CAP warning mes-
sage will display if the fuel-filler cap is
not properly tightened. It may take a
few driving trips for the message to be
displayed. Failure to tighten the fuel-
filler cap properly after the LOOSE
FUEL CAP warning message is dis-
played may cause the
Malfunc-
tion Indicator Light (MIL) to illuminate.
● For additional information, see the
“Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)” in
the “Instruments and Controls” section
in this manual.
● If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body,
flush it away with water to avoid paint
damage.
