Check the fuel cap after refueling

Confirm ordinary cap closure without diagnosing warning lights from a cap alone.

A conceptual cap with a clockwise closure arrow is paired with the manual requirement for at least one audible click. Closure is not presented as proof that a warning or fuel-system problem is fixed.
Original schematic. A correctly closed cap is an observation, not a diagnosis or proof that a warning has cleared. Manual reference

4 Check the result

  • What was observed after closure?
  • Cap clicked and fuel door closed, with no leak / persistent odor

  • Is the cap secure with no fuel evidence, and have remaining messages been recorded for follow-up?
  • Has the cap message cleared during ordinary use, or has it returned or become a malfunction indicator?

Select what you actually observed. If you have only prepared the plan, record that instead.
