 Fuel-Filler Cap

CAUTION

If the check fuel cap warning light 

illuminates, the fuel-filler cap may not 

be properly installed. If the warning 

light illuminates, park your vehicle 

safely off the right-of-way, remove the 

fuel-filler cap and reinstall it correctly. 

After the cap has been correctly 

installed, the fuel cap warning light 

may continue to illuminate until a 

number of driving cycles have been 

completed. A drive cycle consists of 

starting the engine (after four or more 

hours with the engine off) and driving 

the vehicle on city and highway roads.

Continuing to drive with the check 

fuel cap warning light illuminated 

could cause the check engine light to 

illuminate as well.
