Make sure you do this. If it's still there you may need to reset the car. Disconnect the battery (neg terminal) and it should clear up.

most likly a canister shut valve or a perige control valve. any way you need to take it to the dealer and have them run a evap fuction test.

I have on 08, and it has done that to me three times. I turn the car off, double-check the cap, then go about my business. Within half a day or so, the MID indicator goes off and things are back to normal.

Interestingly, each time it has happened, I have had less than 1/4 tank of gas.
