While refueling, hang the cap by the tether from the hook on the filler door. To remove the cap, turn it slowly to the left (counterclockwise). The caphas a spring in it; if you let go of the cap too soon, it will spring back to the right. L When you put the cap back on, turn it to the right (clockwise) until you hear a clicking sound.Make sure you f i l l y install the cap. The diagnosticsystem can determine if the fuel cap has been left off or improperly installed. This would allow fuel to evaporate into the atmosphere. See "Malfunction Indicator Lamp" in the Index. Y NOTICE: If you need a new cap, be sure toget the right type. Your retailer can get one for you. If you get the wrong type, it may not fit properly. This may cause your malfunction indicator lamp to light and your fuel tank andemissions system may be damaged. See "Malfunction Indicator Lamp"in the Index. If you get gasoline on yourself and then something ignites it, you could be badly burned. Gasoline can spray outon you if you open the fuel filler cap too quickly. This spray can happen if' your tank is nearly full, and is more likely in hot weather. Open the fuel filler cap slowly and wait for any "hiss" noise to stop. Then unscrew the cap all the wav. Be careful not to spill gasoline. Clean gasoline from painted surfaces a s soon as possible. See "Cleaning the Outside of Your Vehicle" i n the Index.
