WARNING
Observe the following precautions while refueling the vehicle.
●
After exiting the vehicle and before opening the fuel door, touch an unpainted metal
surface to discharge any static electricity.
Also, do not allow anyone that has not discharged static electricity from their body to
come close to the fuel filler door.
Sparks resulting from static electricity discharge may cause fuel vapors to ignite while
refueling.
●
Do not inhale vaporized fuel. Fuel contains substances that are harmful if inhaled.
●
Do not smoke while refueling the vehicle. Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite and
cause a fire.
●
Do not return to the vehicle or touch any person or object that is statically charged.
This may cause static electricity to build up, resulting in a possible ignition hazard.
●
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.
NOTICE
●
When refueling your vehicle, make sure that the
fuel filler door lock is not pushed by the fuel nozzle
boot, etc., as this may cause a valve to close, possi-
bly resulting in a fuel spill.
If the fuel filler door lock has been pushed, operate
the fuel filler door opener switch in the vehicle
before continuing to refuel.
● Finish refueling within 30 minutes. If more than 30 minutes passes, the internal valve
closes. In this condition, fuel may overflow during the refueling process. Press the fuel
filler door opener switch again.
● 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 compo-
nents or the vehicle’s painted surface.
INFORMATION
