WARNING
refuelling
僅 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 vent
-
ing fuel or if you hear a hissing sound,
wait until the condition stops before
completely removing the cap.
僅 Do not "top off" after the nozzle auto
-
matically shuts off when refuelling.
僅 Always check that the fuel cap is
installed securely to prevent fuel spill
-
age in the event of an accident.
WARNING
refuelling dangers
Automotive fuels are flammable materi
-
als. When refuelling, please note the fol
-
lowing guidelines carefully. Failure to
follow these guidelines may result in
severe personal injury, severe burns or
death by fire or explosion.
僅 Read and follow all warnings at the
gas station facility.
僅 Before refuelling note the location of
the Emergency Petrol Shut-Off, if
available, at the gas station facility.
僅 Before touching the fuel nozzle, you
should eliminate potentially danger
-
ous static electricity discharge by
touching another metal part of the
vehicle, a safe distance away from the
fuel filler neck, nozzle, or other gas
source.
僅 Do not get back into a vehicle once
you have begun refuelling since you
can generate static electricity by
touching, rubbing or sliding against
any item or fabric (polyester, satin,
nylon, etc.) capable of producing
static electricity. Static electricity dis
-
charge can ignite fuel vapours result
-
ing in rapid burning. If you must
reenter the vehicle, you should once
again eliminate potentially dangerous
static electricity discharge by touching
a metal part of the vehicle, away from
the fuel filler neck, nozzle or other
petrol source.
僅 When using an approved portable
fuel container, be sure to place the
container on the ground prior to refu
-
elling. Static electricity discharge from
the container can ignite fuel vapours
causing a fire.
Once refuelling has begun, contact
with the vehicle should be maintained
until the filling is complete.
Use only approved portable plastic
fuel containers designed to carry and
store petrol.
僅 Do not use mobile phones whilst refu
-
elling. Electric current and/or elec
-
tronic interference from mobile
phones can potentially ignite fuel
vapours causing a fire.
僅 When refuelling, always shut the
engine off. Sparks produced by elec
-
trical components related to the
engine can ignite fuel vapours caus
