Sometimes, you may not notice achange in your car's behavior. Even so, anuncorrected condition could hurt fuel econ-omy, emission controls, and drivability.Extended driving without correcting the causecould even damage other components inyour vehicle. This light may illuminate if the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine was runningwhile the vehicle was refueled.
