misused or mishandled. Always
stop engine and do not smoke or
allow open flames or sparks near

ued refueling may cause fuel
overflow, resulting in fuel spray
and possibly a fire.

type fuel-filler cap as a replace-
ment. It has a built-in safety valve
needed for proper operation of
the fuel system and emission
control system. An incorrect cap can result in a serious malfunc-
tion and possible injury. It could
also cause the malfunction indi-
cator light to come on.
. Never pour fuel into the throttle
body to attempt to start your
vehicle.
. Do not fill a portable fuel contain-
er in the vehicle or trailer. Static
electricity can cause an explosion
of flammable liquid, vapor or gas
in any vehicle or trailer. To reduce
the risk of serious injury or death

ers:
— Always place the container on
the ground when filling.
— Do not use electronic devices when filling.
