WARNING O Gasoline is extremely flammable and
highly explosive under certain condi-
tions. You could be burned or seriously injured if it is misused or mishandled. Al-
ways stop the engine and do not smoke
or allow open flames or sparks near the
vehicle when refueling.
O Fuel may be under pressure. Turn the cap
a third of a turn, and wait for any
ªhissingº sound to stop to prevent fuel
from spraying out and possibly causing
personal injury.
O Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank af-
ter the fuel pump nozzle shuts off auto-
matically. Continued refueling maySPA1562A

cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel-
spray and possibly a fire.
O Use only an original equipment type
fuel-filler cap as a replacement. It has a
built-in safety valve needed for proper
operation of the fuel system and emis-
sion control system. An incorrect cap can
result in a serious malfunction and pos-
sible injury. An incorrect cap could also
cause the
malfunction indicator
lamp to illuminate.
O Do not fill a portable fuel container in the
vehicle or trailer. Static electricity can
cause an explosion of flammable liquid,
vapor or gas in any vehicle or trailer. To
reduce the risk of serious injury or death
when filling portable fuel containers:
Ð Always place the container on the
ground when filling.
Ð Do not use electronic devices when
filling.
Ð Keep the pump nozzle in contact with
the container while you are filling it.
Ð Use only approved portable fuel con-
tainers for flammable liquid.
O Never pour fuel into the throttle body to
attempt to start your vehicle. CAUTION O If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body,
flush it away with water to avoid paint
damage.
O Tighten until the fuel-filler cap clicks.
Failure to tighten the fuel-filler cap prop-
erly may cause the
malfunction in-
dicator lamp (MIL) to illuminate. If the
lamp illuminates because the fuel-
filler cap is loose or missing, tighten or
install the cap and continue to drive the
vehicle. The
lamp should turn off
after a few driving trips. If the
lamp
does not turn off after a few driving trips,
have the vehicle inspected by an INFINITI
dealer.
O For additional information, see the ªMal-
function indicator lamp (MIL)º in the ª2.
Instruments and controlsº section.
