& WARNING
An improper fueling procedure and improper
handling of fuel can lead to explosions, fires,
severe burns and other in juries.
- Do not smoke and keep away from open
flames.
- The ignition must be sw itched off when re­
fueling.
- Cell phones, radio devices and other rad io
equipment should a lways be switched off
when refueling. E lectromagnetic rays could
cause sparks and start a fire.
- If you do not insert the fuel pump nozzle all
the way into the filler tube, then fuel can
leak out. Spilled fuel can ignite and start a
fire .
- Never get into the vehicle when refueling . If
there is an exceptional situation where the
vehicle must be entered, close the door and
touch a metal surface before touching the
fuel pump nozzle again . This will reduce the
r isk of electrostatic discharge that can cause
f lying sparks. Sparks can start a fire when
refueling.
& WARNING
We recommend that you do not transpo rt any
f u el containers in the vehicle . Fuel could leak
out of the container and ignite, especially dur­
ing an accident. This can cause explosions,
fires and injuries.
- If you must transport fuel in a fuel contain­ er, p lease note the following :
