The information  display in the
instrument  panel shows  you the
engine  oil life  and  maintenance
service  items when the ignition
switch  is in  the  ON  (II) position.  This
information  helps to keep  you aware
of  the  periodic  maintenance  your
vehicle  needs for continued  trouble-
free  driving.  Refer to page  for
more  information.
Your 
vehicle’s  on board  diagnostic
system  will detect  a loose  or missing
fuel  fill cap  as an  evaporative  system
leak.  The first  time  a leak  is detected
a  ‘‘CHECK  FUEL CAP’’ message
appears  on the  information  display.
Turn  the engine  off, and  confi rm the
fuel  fill cap  is installed.  If it is,  loosen
it,  then  retighten  it until  it clicks  at
least  once.  The message  should go
off  after  several  days of normal
driving  once you tighten  or replace
the  fuel  fill cap.  To scroll  to another
display,  press the SEL/RESET
button.  The ‘‘CHECK  FUEL CAP’’
message  will appear  each time you
restart  the engine  until the system
turns  the message  off. If 
the  system  still detects  a leak  in
the  vehicle’s  evaporative  emissions
system,  the malfunction  indicator
lamp  (MIL)  comes  on. If the  fuel  fill
cap  was  not already  tightened,  turn
the  engine  off, and  check  or
retighten  the fuel  fill cap  until  it
clicks  at least  once.  The MIL  should
go  off  after  several  days of normal
driving  once the cap  is tightened  or
replaced.  If the  MIL  does  not go off,
have  your vehicle  inspected  by a
dealer.  For more  information,  see
