When refueling the vehicle
Observe the following precautions while refueling the vehicle. Failure to do so
may result in death or serious injury.
After exiting the vehicle and before opening the fuel door, touch an unpainted
metal surface to discharge any static electricity. It is important to discharge
static electricity before refueling because sparks resulting from static electric-
ity can cause fuel vapors to ignite while refueling.
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 body
to come close to an open fuel tank.
Do not inhale vaporized fuel.
Fuel contains substances that are harmful if inhaled.
Do not smoke while refueling the vehicle.
Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite and cause a fire.
Do not return to the vehicle or touch any person or object that is statically
charged.
This may cause static electricity to build up, resulting in a possible ignition
hazard.
When refueling
Observe the following precautions to prevent fuel overflowing from the fuel
tank:
Securely insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel filler neck.
Stop filling the tank after the fuel nozzle automatically clicks off.
Do not top off the fuel tank.
NOTICE
Refueling
Do not spill fuel during refueling.
Doing so may damage the vehicle, such as causing the emission control system
to operate abnormally or damaging fuel system components or the vehicle’s
painted surface.
