WARNING

■

Refueling the vehicle

Observe the following precautions while refueling the vehicle.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.

●

Do not handle fuel indoors.

●

After exiting the vehicle and before opening the fuel door, touch an
unpainted metal surface to discharge any static electricity. It is important to
discharge static electricity before refueling because sparks resulting from
static electricity can cause fuel vapors to ignite while refueling.

●

Always hold the grips on the fuel tank cap and turn it slowly to remove it.
A whooshing sound may be heard when the fuel tank cap is loosened.
Wait until the sound cannot be heard before fully removing the cap.
In hot weather, pressurized fuel may spray out of the filler neck and cause
injury.

●

Do not allow anyone that has not discharged static electricity from their
body to come close to an open fuel tank.

●

Do not allow anyone to approach the area of the vehicle near the fuel filler
pipe while refueling is in progress.

●

Do not inhale vaporized fuel.
Fuel contains substances that are harmful if inhaled.

●

Do not smoke while refueling the vehicle.
Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite and cause a fire.

●

Do not return to the vehicle or touch any person or object that is statically
charged.
This may cause static electricity to build up, resulting in a possible ignition
hazard.

WARNING

■

When refueling

Observe the following precautions to prevent fuel overflowing from the fuel
tank:

●

Securely insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel filler neck

●

Stop filling the tank after the fuel nozzle automatically clicks off

●

Do not top off the fuel tank

●

Observe other precautions that are posted at the service station.

●

Turn the cap to the right until it clicks to ensure that it is fully tightened. If
the cap is not securely tightened, fuel spillage could occur in the event of
an accident, creating a fire hazard.

■

When replacing the fuel cap

Do not use anything but a genuine fuel tank cap designed for your vehicle.
Doing so may cause a fire or other incident which may result in death or seri-
ous injury.

CAUTION

■

Refueling

●

Do not spill fuel during refueling.
Doing so may damage the vehicle, such as causing the emission control
system to operate abnormally or damaging fuel system components or the
vehicle's painted surface.

●

Never add any cleaning agents to the fuel tank. The addition of a cleaning
agent may cause damage to the fuel system.

●

Immediately put fuel in the tank whenever the low fuel warning light illumi-
nates. Engine misfires as a result of an empty tank could cause damage to
the engine. Continuing to operate your vehicle at an extremely low fuel
level may result in a reduction of engine performance.
