The message should go off after
several days of normal driving once
you tighten or replace the fuel fill
cap. To scroll to another message,
press the INFO button. The
‘‘TIGHTEN 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
