STARTING AND OPERATING 323 CAUTION! • Damage to the fuel system or emissions 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 "Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)" 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. 5 Fuel Fill Cap NOTE: When removing the fuel filler cap, lay the cap tether in the hook, located on the fuel filler door.
