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 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
fuelfiller
tube, then tighten the fuel-filler
cap 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 a NISSAN dealer.
For additional information, see “Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)” in the “2. Instruments and controls” section.
• The LOOSE FUEL CAP warning will appear 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 fuel-filler cap properly after the LOOSE FUEL CAP warning appears may cause the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) to illuminate.

To install the fuel-filler cap:
