WARNING
■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 refu-eling because sparks resulting from
static electricity 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, pressurize d fuel may spray
out the filler neck and cause injury.
●Do not allow anyone that has not dis- charged 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 vehi- cle.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 noz-zle 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.

operate under the assumption that the driver will drive safely, and is designed to help reduce the impact to the occupants
and the vehicle in the case of a collision or assist the driver in normal driving con-ditions.
As there is a limit to the degree of recog- nition accuracy and control performance
that this system can provide, do not overly rely on this system. The driver is always responsible for paying attention
to the vehicle’s surroundings and driving safely.
