Features of your vehicle
Always check that the fuel cap is installed
securely to prevent fuel spillage in the
event of an accident.
WARNING - Fire/explosionrisk
Read and follow all warnings posted
at the gas station facility. Failure to
follow all warnings will result in
severe personal injury, severe burns
or death due to fire or explosion.
WARNING - Cell phonefires
Do not use cellular phones while
refueling. Electric current and/or
electronic interference from cellu-
lar phones can potentially ignite
fuel vapors causing a fire.
WARNING - Portable fuelcontainer
When using an approved portable
fuel container, be sure to place the
container on the ground prior to
refueling. Static electricity dis-
charge from the container can
ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.
Once refueling has begun, contact
with the vehicle should be main-
tained until the filling is complete.
Use only approved portable plastic
fuel containers designed to carry
and store gasoline.
WARNING - Static electricity
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.
Do not get back into a vehicle once you have begun refueling since
you can generate static electricity
by touching, rubbing or sliding
against any item or fabric (poly-
ester, satin, nylon, etc.) capable of
producing static electricity. Static
electricity discharge can ignite
fuel vapors resulting in rapid burn-
ing. If you must re-enter the vehi-
cle, you should once again elimi-
nate potentially dangerous static
electricity discharge by touching a
metal part of the vehicle, away
from the fuel filler neck, nozzle or
other gasoline source.

Using a cellular phone or a two-way
radio
When a cellular phone is used inside the
vehicle, noise may be produced from the
audio system. This does not mean that
something is wrong with the audio equip-
ment. In such a case, try to operate
mobile devices as far from the audio
equipment as possible.
When using a communication system
such as a cellular phone or a radio set
inside the vehicle, a separate external
antenna must be fitted. When a cellular
phone or a radio set is used with an inter-
nal antenna alone, it may interfere with
the vehicle's electrical system and
adversely affect safe operation of the
vehicle.
WARNING- Cell phone use
Do not use a cellular phone while
driving. Stop at a safe location to
use a cellular phone.
WARNING- Driver Distraction
Do not stare at the screen while
driving. Staring at the screen for
prolonged periods of time could
lead to traffic accidents.
Using the phone while driving may lead to a lack of attention of
traffic conditions and increase
the likelihood of accidents. Use
the phone feature after parking
the vehicle.
WARNING- Audio System
Do not disassemble, assemble, or
modify the audio system. Such acts
could result in fire or electric
shock.
WARNING- Antenna
Do not touch the antenna during
thunder or lightening as such acts
may lead to lightning induced elec-
tric shock.
CAUTION
Refrain from use if the screen isblank or no sound can be heard as these signs may indicate productmalfunction.
