Page: 183 / 304

Warning!
Never have any smoking materials lit in
or near the vehicle when the gas cap is
removed or the tank is being filled.
Never add fuel when the engine is
running. This is in violation of most state
and federal fire regulations and may cause
the MIL to turn on.
A fire may result if gasoline is pumped
into a portable container that is inside of a
vehicle. You could be burned. Always
place gas containers on the ground while
filling.
Do not apply any object/plug to the end
of the filler which is not provided for the
vehicle. The use of non-compliant
objects/plugs could cause a pressure
increase inside the tank, resulting in
dangerous situations.
Do not use a mobile phone near the
refueling pump: risk of fire.
