WARNING
■
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 nozzle automatically clicks off
● Do not top off the fuel tank
● Observe other precautions that are posted at the service station.
● Turn the cap to the right until it clicks to ensure that it is fully tightened. If
the cap is not securely tightened, fuel spillage could occur in the event of
an accident, creating a fire hazard.
■ When replacing the fuel cap
Do not use anything but a genuine fuel tank cap designed for your vehicle.
Doing so may cause a fire or other incident which may result in death or seri-
ous injury.
CAUTION
■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.
● Never add any cleaning agents to the fuel tank. The addition of a cleaning
agent may cause damage to the fuel system.
● Immediately put fuel in the tank whenever the low fuel warning light illumi-
nates. Engine misfires as a result of an empty tank could cause damage to
the engine. Continuing to operate your vehicle at an extremely low fuel
level may result in a reduction of engine performance.
