Fuel Filler Cap
NOTE: When removing the fuel filler cap, lay the cap
tether in the hook, located on the fuel filler door.
CAUTION!
- Damage to the fuel system or emissions control
system could result from using an improper fuel
tank filler tube cap (gas cap).
- A poorly fitting gas cap could let impurities into
the fuel system.
- A poorly fitting gas cap may cause the "Malfunction
Indicator Light (MIL)" to turn on.
- To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not "top
off" the fuel tank after filling. When the fuel
nozzle "clicks" or shuts off, the fuel tank is full.
WARNING!
- Never add fuel to the vehicle when the engine is
running.
- 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.
NOTE:
WARNING!
Static electricity can cause an ignition of flammable
liquid, vapor or gas in any vehicle or trailer. To
reduce risk of serious injury or death when filling
containers:
- Always place container on the ground before filling.
- Keep the pump nozzle in contact with the container
when you are filling it.
- Use only approved containers for flammable liquid.
- Do not leave container unattended while filling.
- A static electric charge could cause a spark and fire
hazard.
