Danger!
The RF energy from a cellphone can cause a
sparking on bare metal, much like aluminium
foil in a microwave oven. The spark could ig-
nite gasoline fumes present while refuling.
Static discharge from your body can ignite
gasoline fumes present when you get back
out of the vehicle and touch the fuel nozzle.
In either case, resulting fire can cause seri-
ous damage to the vehicle, serious injury or
death to persons in immediate vicinity.
fDo not use a cellphone while pumping gas.
fDo not re-enter the vehicle while pumping gas.Total capacity approx. 26.4 gallons
(100 liters), including approx. 3 gallons
(12 liters) reserve
