Operation Manual

O Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank af-
ter the fuel pump nozzle shuts off auto-
matically. Continued refueling may
cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel
spray and possibly a fire.
O 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 emis-
sion control system. An incorrect cap can
result in a serious malfunction and pos-
sible injury. It could also cause the mal-
function indicator light to come on.
O
Never pour fuel into the throttle body to
attempt to start your vehicle.
O 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 con-
tainers for flammable liquid.
CAUTION
O If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body,
flush it away with water to avoid paint
damage.
O Tighten until the fuel-filler cap clicks.
Failure to tighten the fuel-filler cap prop-
erly may cause the
malfunction in-
dicator lamp (MIL) to illuminate. If the
lamp illuminates because the fuel-
filler cap is loose or missing, tighten or
install the cap and continue to drive the
vehicle. The
lamp should turn off
after a few driving trips. If the
lamp
does not turn off after a few driving trips,
have the vehicle inspected by an INFINITI
dealer.
The fuel-filler cap is a ratcheting type.
Turn the cap counterclockwise to remove.
To tighten, turn the cap clockwise until
ratcheting clicks are heard.
Put the fuel-filler cap on the cap holder
