FUEL-FILLER CAP
WARNING
. Gasoline is extremely flammable and
highly explosive under certain condi-
tions. You could be burned or seriously
injured if it is misused or mishandled.
Always stop engine and do not smoke or
allow open flames or sparks near the
vehicle when refueling.
. Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank
after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off
automatically. Continued refueling may
cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel
spray and possibly a fire.
. Use only an original equipment type
fuel-filler cap as a replacement. It has a
built-in safety valve needed for proper
operation of the fuel system and emis-
sion control system. An incorrect cap can result in a serious malfunction and
possible injury. It could also cause the
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) to
come on.
. Never pour fuel into the throttle body to
attempt to start your vehicle.
. Do not fill a portable fuel container in
the vehicle or trailer. Static electricity
can cause an explosion of flammable
liquid, vapor or gas in any vehicle or
trailer. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death when filling portable fuel
containers:
—Always place the container on the
ground when filling.
—Do not use electronic devices whenfilling.
—Keep the pump nozzle in contact
with the container while you are
filling it.
—Use only approved portable fuelcontainers for flammable liquid.
CAUTION
. If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body,
flush it away with water to avoid paint
damage.
. Insert the cap straight into the fuel-filler
tube, then tighten the fuel-filler cap until
a single click is heard. Failure to tighten
the fuel-filler cap properly may cause the
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) to
illuminate. If thelight illuminates
because the fuel-filler cap is loose or
missing, tighten or install the cap and
continue to drive the vehicle. The
light should turn off after a few driving
trips. If thelight does not turn off
after a few driving trips, have the vehicle
inspected by an INFINITI retailer.
. The Loose Fuel Cap warning will appear
if the fuel-filler cap is not properly
tightened. It may take a few driving
trips for the warning to be displayed.
Failure to tighten the fuel-filler cap
properly after the Loose Fuel Cap warn-
ing appears may cause the
Mal-
function Indicator Light (MIL) to
illuminate.

.For additional information, see “Mal-
function Indicator Light (MIL)” (P.2-18).
