A WARNING
Fuel ignites easily and can cause serious burns
and other injuries.
- Do not smoke or have an open flame in the
area whe n fueling your vehicle or filling a
fuel conta iner because this increases the
risk of an explosion .
- Follow legal requirements when using, stor
ing a nd transporting fuel containers .
- For safety reasons, we recommend not car
rying fuel containers. The conta iner could be
damaged in an accident and leak fuel.
- If you must transport fuel in a fuel contain
er, note the following:
- Never fill the fuel container with fue l
while it is in or on the vehicle. Static e lec
tricity is discharged when fi lling which can
cause the fuel vapors to ignite and in
creases the risk of an exp losion. A lways
place the conta iner on the ground when
fill ing it .
- The fuel pump nozzle must be inserted as
far as possible into the filler opening on
the fuel container .
- If the fuel container is made of metal, the
fuel nozzle must always be in contact with
the container when filling it with f uel. Th is
prevents static electricity from discharg
ing .
-Never spill fuel in the vehicle or the l ug
gage compartment. Evaporated fuel is ex
plosive and increases the ris k of se rious in
ju ry o r dea th .
(D Note
- Remove spilled fue l from veh icle pa int im
media tely, because it ca n damage paint .
- Never drive unt il the fuel tank is completely
empty . The irregular supply of fue l that re
sults from that can cause eng ine misfires.
Uncombus ted fuel will ente r the exh aus t
system and increase the risk of damage to
the cata lytic converter.
@) For the sake of the environment
Do not overfill the fuel tan k, otherwise f uel
