Fuel Filler Cap

• WARNING
• Gasoline is an extremely flammable substance that can also become highly explosive under certain conditions. Improper use or handling may cause burns or serious injury. When refueling, always turn off the engine, do not smoke, and keep all flames and sparks away from the vehicle.
• Do not attempt to continue filling the fuel tank after the fuel pump nozzle has shut off automatically. Overfilling could cause the tank to overflow, spray fuel, and cause a fire.
• Replace a fuel filler cap only with an original cap. It has a built-in safety valve necessary for proper operation of the fuel system and emissions control system. Using an improper cap may cause a significant malfunction and injury. Such use may also cause the malfunction indicator lamp
  to come on.
• Never attempt to start the vehicle by pouring fuel into the throttle body.
• Do not fill a portable fuel container while it is in your vehicle or trailer. Static electricity may cause an explosion due to the presence of flammable liquids, vapors or gases. To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury when filling a portable fuel container, make sure to follow these guidelines:

• Always place the container on the ground to fill it.
• Do not use any electronic devices while filling.
• Keep the fuel dispenser nozzle in contact with the container while filling.
• Use only a portable container approved for flammable liquids.

WARNING

• Do not use E-15 or E-85 fuel in your vehicle. For more information, see the "Fuel Recommendations" section in the "Technical Data and Consumer Information" chapter of this manual.
• The FUEL CAP LOOSE warning appears if the fuel filler cap is not tightened correctly. It may be necessary to drive a few trips before the message appears. The malfunction indicator lamp
  may come on if you do not tighten the fuel filler cap correctly after the FUEL CAP LOOSE warning appears.
• The malfunction indicator lamp may come on
  if the fuel filler cap is loose. If the
  lamp comes on because the cap was not replaced or was not tightened properly, replace or tighten it and continue driving. The
  lamp should go off after a few driving cycles. If the lamp remains on,
  take your vehicle to a NISSAN dealer for inspection.
• For more information, see the "Malfunction Indicator" section in the "Instruments and Controls" chapter.
• If fuel has spilled onto the vehicle body, rinse it off immediately with water to avoid damage to the paint.
