Gauges Check Fuel Cap Indicator If your fuel fill cap is loose or missing, a ''CHECK FUEL CAP'' message appears in the odometer display after you start the engine. The message goes from CHECK to FUEL CAP repeatedly. You will also hear a beep. Turn the engine off, and confirm the fuel fill cap is installed. If it is, loosen the cap, then retighten it at least 3 clicks. When you restart the engine, the message appears again. To clear the message, press and hold the RESET button until the odometer display returns. If the system still detects a loose or missing fuel fill cap, the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) comes on. Turn the engine off, and check or retighten the fuel fill cap at least 3 clicks. The MIL goes out after 3 days of normal driving once the cap is tightened or replaced. If it does not go out, have your dealer inspect the vehicle. For more information, see page 279 . Maintenance Minder Display The information display in the instrument panel shows you the engine oil life and maintenance service items when the ignition switch is in the ON (II) position. This information helps to keep you aware of the periodic maintenance your vehicle needs for continued troublefree driving. Refer to page 225 for more information. 70
