NOTE
Extended exposure of fuel filler cap to rain/washing may cause a small amount of water to collect between the pop-up cap and the threaded body. Simply remove the fuel cap and tilt to drain water. Water cannot flow through the fuel filler cap.
Removing Fuel Filler Cap

Installing Fuel Filler Cap
Screw fuel filler cap clockwise into fuel tank threads firmly. Press down on cap and rotate cap 1/8 turn clockwise to lock cap in down position.
NOTE
There is no ratchet in this fuel cap, so it will not click when you have installed and tightened the cap.

LED Fuel Gauge
See Figure 1 and Figure 3. The fuel gauge has seven warm red LEDs which indicate the amount of fuel in the tank. Refer to Table 1.
NOTE
  • The fuel gauge is mirror glass. Recommended cleaning is with glass cleaner. Any type of abrasive chrome cleaner could damage the surface and damage surrounding painted surfaces.
  • The fuel gauge is equipped with a light-sensitive sensor. The sensor causes the fuel gauge to illuminate brighter in lighted conditions.
  • When the fuel tank has less than one gallon (3.8 liters) of fuel remaining, the low fuel lamp lights in the speedometer.
  • The gas pump icon on the LED fuel gauge is not a low fuel warning lamp. It will be illuminated at all times when the ignition/headlamp key switch is in the IGNITION position.
