Automotive fuels are flammable
materials.When refueling,
please note the following guide-
lines carefully.Failure to follow
these guidelines may result in
severe personal injury,severe
burns or death by fire or explo-
sion.
• Before refueling note the loca-
tion of the Emergency
Gasoline Shut-Off,if available,
at the gas station facility.
• Before touching the fuel noz-
zle, you should eliminate
potentially dangerous static
electricity discharge by touch-
ing another metal part of the
vehicle, a safe distance away
from the fuel filler neck, noz-
zle, or other gas source.

• Do not get back into a vehicle
once you have begun refuel-
ing since you can generate
static electricity by touching,
rubbing or sliding against any
item or fabric (polyester,satin,
nylon, etc.) capable of produc-
ing static electricity.Static
electricity discharge can
ignite fuel vapors resulting in
rapid burning.If you must re-
enter the vehicle, you should
once again elimi
nate poten-
tially dangerous static elec-
tricity discharge by touching a
metal part of the vehicle, away
from the fuel filler neck, nozzle
or other gasoline source.
• When using a portable fuel
container be sure to place the
container on the ground prior
to refueling.Static electricity
discharge from the container
can ignite fuel vapors causing
a fire.Once refueling has
begun, contact with the vehi-
cle should be maintained until
the filling is complete.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Use only portable plastic fuel
containers designed to carry
and store gasoline.
• Do not use cellular phones
while refueling.Electric cur-
rent and/or electronic interfer-
ence from cellular phones can
potentially ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire.
• When refueling, always shut
the engine off.Sparks pro-
duced by electrical compo-
nents related to the engine
can ignite fuel vapors causing
a fire.Once refueling is com-
plete, check to make
sure the
filler cap and filler door are
securely closed, before start-
ing the engine.
