Blinking Gas Light ?!?

So after finding an old post, i guess it turns out that my gas cap is loose.
After I tighten it ----can I clear the computer manually by hitting the pedals and turning the AC temp up or down???? hehe
Maybe saying a magic word inside my car-----by the way its a 99 E430.

Or is this something I need to clear at autozone??

It freaks me out when that starts to happen. I think that I've just filled up, made sure the cap was tight, and then it goes away pretty much right away. I think that I've seen it 2 or 3 times but it's never stayed around long.
