(Continued)
If a fire breaks out during refu-
eling, leave the vicinity of the
vehicle, and immediately con-
tact the manager of the gasstation and then contact the
local fire department. Follow
any safety instructions they
provide.
If pressurized fuel sprays out,
it can cover your clothes or
skin and thus subject you to
the risk of fire and burns.
Always remove the fuel cap
carefully and slowly. If the cap
is venting fuel or if you hear a
hissing sound, wait until the
condition stops before com-
pletely removing the cap.
Always check that the fuel cap
is installed securely to pre-

Emergency fuel filler doorrelease
If the fuel filler door does not open using the remote fuel filler door
release button, you can open it man-
ually. Pull the handle of the releaselocated on the left side of the lug-
gage compartment outward slightly.
In this case, slowly open the fuel tank
cap, because the fuel tank may be
highly pressurized. If fuel leaks out,
or if air hisses out, wait until it disap-
pears, open the fuel tank cap, and
slowly refuel the vehicle. If you quick-ly pour fuel into the fuel tank, the fuel
may overflow out of the fuel tank.
