5. After you have stopped pumping fuel, remove the fuel

filler nozzle and replace the fuel filler cap.

you hear one click. This is an indication that the fuel

filler cap is properly tightened.

7. To close the fuel filler door, push the center-rear edge

(9 o’clock position) of the fuel filler door and then

NOTE:

• In certain cold conditions, ice may prevent the fuel

filler door from opening. If this occurs, lightly push on

the fuel filler door around the perimeter to break the

ice build up.

• If the fuel filler cap is not tightened properly, the MIL

will come on. Be sure the fuel filler cap is tightened

every time the vehicle is refueled.

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

(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
