Closing the bonnet
1. Before closing the bonnet, check thefollowing:
 All filler caps in engine compartment must be correctly installed.
 Gloves, rags or any other com- bustible material must be removed
from the engine compartment.
2. Return the support rod to its clip to prevent it from rattling.
3. Lower the bonnet until it is about 12 in. (30 cm) above the closed position and
let it drop. Make sure that it locks into
place.
WARNING - Bonnet
 Before closing the bonnet, ensure that all obstructions are
removed from the bonnet open-
ing. Closing the bonnet with anobstruction present in the bonnet
opening may result in property
damage or severe personal
injury.
 Do not leave gloves, rags or any other combustible material in the
engine compartment. Doing so
may cause a heat-induced fire.WARNING
 Always double check to be sure that the bonnet is firmly latched
before driving away. If it is not
latched, the bonnet could fly
open whilst the vehicle is being
driven, causing a total loss of vis-
ibility, which might result in anaccident.
 The support rod must be inserted completely into the hole whenev-
er you inspect the engine com-
partment. This will prevent the
bonnet from falling and possibly
injuring you.

WARNING - Refuelling
 If pressurized fuel sprays out, it can cover your clothes or skin
and thus subject you to the risk
of fire and burns. Always remove
the fuel cap carefully and slowly.
If the cap is venting fuel or if you
hear a hissing sound, wait until
the condition stops before com-
pletely removing the cap.
 Do not "top off" after the nozzle automatically shuts off whenrefuelling.
 Always check that the fuel cap is installed securely to prevent fuel
spillage in the event of an acci-dent.(Continued)
 Do not get back into a vehicle once you have begun refuelling
since you can generate static
electricity by touching, rubbing
or sliding against any item or fab-
ric (polyester, satin, nylon, etc.)
capable of producing static elec-
tricity. Static electricity discharge
can ignite fuel vapours resulting
in rapid burning. If you must re-
enter the vehicle, you should
once again eliminate potentially
dangerous static electricity dis-
charge by touching a metal part
of the vehicle, away from the fuel
filler neck, nozzle or other petrol
source.
 When using an approved portable fuel container, be sure toplace the container on the
ground prior to refuelling. Static
electricity discharge from the
container can ignite fuel vapours
causing a fire. Once refuelling
has begun, contact with the vehi-
cle should be maintained until
the filling is complete.
(Continued)WARNING - Refuelling
dangers
Automotive fuels are flammable
materials. When refuelling, please
note the following guidelines care-
fully. Failure to follow these guide-
lines may result in severe personal
injury, severe burns or death by fire
or explosion.
 Read and follow all warning post- ed at the gas station facility.
 Before refuelling note the loca- tion of the Emergency Petrol
Shut-Off, if available, at the gas
station facility.
 Before touching the fuel nozzle, you should eliminate potentially
dangerous static electricity dis-
charge by touching another metal
part of the vehicle, a safe dis-
tance away from the fuel filler
neck, nozzle, or other gas source.
