FUEL-FILLER CAP

WARNING

∙ Gasoline is extremely flammable and

tions. You could be burned or seri-
ously injured if it is misused or mis-
handled. 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 emission control system. An in-
correct cap can result in a serious mal-
function and possible injury. It could
also cause the

Malfunction Indi-

cator 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

containers for flammable liquid.

CAUTION

∙ Do not use a fuel containing more

than 15% ethanol in your vehicle. For
additional information, refer to “Fuel
recommendation” in the “Technical
and consumer information” section of
this manual.

∙ The LOOSE FUEL CAP warning mes-

sage will appear 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
appears may cause the

continue

drive

the

vehicle.

The
