Convenient features of your vehicle
Closing the fuel filler door
1. To install the fuel tank cap, turn it
clockwise until it “clicks” .
2. Close the fuel filler door until it is
latched securely.
•
Do not use cellular phones
while refueling. Electric cur-
rent and/or electronic interfer-
ence from cellular phones can
potentially ignite fuel vapors
and cause a fire.
•
Do not get back into a vehicle
once you have begun refuel-
ing. You can generate a build-
up of static electricity by touch-
ing, rubbing or sliding against
any item or fabric capable of
producing static electricity.
Static electricity discharge can
ignite fuel vapors causing a
fire. If you must re-enter the
vehicle, you should once again
eliminate potentially danger-
ous static electricity discharge
by touching a metal part of the
vehicle, away from the fuel filler
neck, nozzle or other gasoline
source, with your bare hand.
Gasoline is highly flammable
and explosive. Failure to follow
these guidelines may result in
SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
•
Read and follow all warnings
posted at the gas station.
•
Before refueling, note the
location of the Emergency
Gasoline Shut-Off, if available,
at the gas station.
•
Before touching the fuel noz-
zle, you should eliminate the
potential build-up of static
electricity by touching a metal
part of the vehicle, a safe dis-
tance away from the fuel filler
neck, nozzle, or other gas
source, with your bare hand.
WARNING
•
When refueling, always move
the shift lever to the P (Park)
position (for automatic trans-
mission/dual clutch transmis-
sion) or first gear or R
(Reverse, for manual transmis-
sion), set the parking brake,
and place the ignition switch
to the LOCK/OFF position.
Sparks produced by electrical
components related to the
engine can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire.
•
When using an approved
portable fuel container, be sure
to place the container on the
ground prior to refueling. Static
electricity discharge from the
container can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. Once refueling
has begun, contact between
your bare hand and the vehicle
should be maintained until the
filling is complete.
•
Use only approved portable
plastic fuel containers designed
to carry and store gasoline.
