FUEL-FILLER CAP
WARNING
. Gasoline is extremely flammable and
highly explosive under certain condi-
tions. You could be burned or ser-
iously injured if it is misused or
mishandled. Always stop engine and
do not smoke or allow open flames or
sparks near the vehicle when refuel-
ing.
. Do not attempt to top off the fuel
tank after the fuel pump nozzle shuts
off automatically. Continued refuel-
ing 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 emission control system. An in-
correct cap can result in a serious malfunction and possible injury. It
could also cause the malfunction
indicator light 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 when filling.
— Keep the pump nozzle in contact with the container while you are
filling it.
— Use only approved portable fuel containers 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 until the fuel-
filler cap clicks. Failure to tighten the
fuel-filler cap properly may cause the
malfunction indicator light (MIL)
to illuminate. If thelight illumi-
nates 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. It is
recommended you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this service.
. 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 message to be
displayed. Failure to tighten the fuel-
filler cap properly after the LOOSE
FUEL CAP warning appears may
cause the
Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) to illuminate.
Turn the cap counterclockwise to remove.
To tighten, turn the cap clockwise until a
single click is heard.
