REFUELING THE VEHICLE — GAS ENGINE
Diesel engine runaway is a rare condition affecting diesel engines, where the engine consumes its own lubrication oil and runs at higher and higher RPM until it overspeeds to a point where it destroys itself due to either mechanical failure or engine seizure through lack of lubrication.
The fuel filler cap (gas cap) is located behind the fuel filler door, on the left side of the vehicle. Open the fuel door and remove the fuel filler cap by turning it counter-clockwise.
Fuel Filler Cap
When removing the fuel filler cap, lay the cap tether in the hook, located on the fuel filler door.

Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the vehicle when the gas cap is removed or the tank is being filled.

the instrument cluster telltale display area. Refer to “Instrument Cluster Display” in “Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel” for further information. Tighten the fuel filler cap properly and push the RIGHT button to turn off the message. If the problem continues, the message will appear the next time the vehicle is started.
