Fuel-filler cap
WARNING
• Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive under certain conditions.
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 emission 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 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 a single click is heard. Failure to tighten the fuel-filler cap properly may cause the
malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate.
If the
light 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 the
light does not turn
off after a few driving trips, have the vehicle inspected by an INFINITI retailer.
• The LOOSE FUEL CAP warning will illuminate 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 fuelfiller cap properly after the LOOSE FUEL CAP warning illuminates may cause the
malfunction indicator light (MIL)
to illuminate.
Sedan
Turn the fuel-filler cap counterclockwise to remove. To tighten, turn the cap clockwise until a single click is heard. Put the fuelfiller cap on the cap holder A while refueling.
