Gas Cap not tight enough?
This morning I had to fuel up my gas tank for the first time, got 555KM on my odo when the last bar started blinking
![]() However the question is when I tried to close the gas cap, I could only hear one tiny little "click" and can no longer tighten it any further, in my previous two cars, civic and mazda3, I remembered I could tighten the cap with at least 3-5 clicks or more. I am wondering if this is NORMAL with our Yaris? Is your car doing the samething? I also noticed that on the cap it says "Tighten cap until 1 click", something like that, hrmm... maybe that's how it works? |

One click. That's what my cap shows also, along with it stating it in the manual.

It says right on the gas cap (or inner door) to turn until 1 click.

Yeah, it's a weird feeling. I suppose it's more of that nifty Japanese ingenuity
