To replace and secure the fuel cap, place it in position and
rotate it clockwise until it clicks (ratchets). The ratcheting
mechanism allows the fuel cap to be sealed without
overtightening.

or equivalent part.

fuel tank can damage the fuel system or cause it to work
improperly in a collision.

[SV06600(ALL)01/95]
NOTE: If you replace your fuel cap with an aftermarket fuel
filler cap, the customer warranty may be void for any
damage to the fuel tank and/or fuel system.
