LOOSE FUEL FILLER CAP MESSAGE
If the vehicle diagnostic system determines that the
fuel filler cap is loose, improperly installed, or damaged,
the word “gASCAP” will display in the odometer. If this
occurs, tighten the fuel filler cap until a “clicking” sound
is heard and press the TRIP ODOMETER button to
turn off the message. If the problem persists, the
message will appear the next time the vehicle is
started.
A loose, improperly installed, or damaged fuel filler cap
may also turn on the MIL.POWER STEERING
The standard power steering system will give you good
vehicle response and increased ease of maneuverability
in tight spaces. The system will provide mechanical
steering capability if power assist is lost.
If for some reason the power assist is interrupted, it
will still be possible to steer your vehicle. Under these
conditions, you will observe a substantial increase in
steering effort, especially at very low vehicle speeds
and during parking maneuvers.
NOTE:
• Increased noise levels at the end of the steering
wheel travel are considered normal and do not indicate
that there is a problem with the power steering system.
• Upon initial start-up in cold weather, the power
steering pump may make noise for a short amount of
time. This is due to the cold, thick fluid in the steering
system. This noise should be considered normal, and it
does not in any way damage the steering system.
WARNING!
Continued operation with reduced
power steering assist could pose a safety
risk to yourself and others. Service should be
obtained as soon as possible.

5. To replace the cap, insert it into the filler neck andtighten to the right until at least three clicks are
heard.
 Damage to the fuel system or emission
control system could result from using an
improper fuel tank filler tube cap (gas
cap).
 A poorly fitting gas cap could let impurities into
the fuel system.
 A poorly fitting gas cap may cause the “Mal-
function Indicator Light” to turn on.
 To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top
off ” the fuel tank after filling. When the fuel
nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the fuel tank is full.
NOTE: When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off,
the fuel tank is full.
WARNING!
 The volatility of some gasoline may
cause a buildup of pressure in the fuel
tank that may increase while you drive. This
pressure can result in a spray of gasoline and/or
vapors when the cap is removed from a hot
vehicle. Removing the cap slowly allows the pres-
sure to vent and prevents fuel spray.
(Continued)(Continued)
 Remove the fuel cap (gas cap) slowly to prevent
fuel spray from the filler neck which may cause
injury.
 Never have any smoking materials lit in or near
the vehicle when the fuel cap is removed or the
tank is being filled.
 Never add fuel to the vehicle when the engine is
running.
 A fire may result if gasoline is pumped into a
portable container that is inside of a vehicle.You
could be burned. Always place gas containers on
the ground while filling.
