CAUTION

Observe the following precautions while refueling the vehicle.
Failure to do so, may result in death or serious injury.
 Touch the vehicle or some other metal surface to discharge any static
electricity.
Sparks resulting from discharging static electricity may cause the fuel
vapors to ignite.
 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
bodies to come close to an open fuel tank.
