Do not run the engine when inside an
enclosed area:
Running the engine inside an enclosed
area, such as a garage, is dangerous.
Exhaust gas, which contains poisonous
carbon monoxide, could easily enter
the cabin. Loss of consciousness or
even death could occur.
Open the windows or adjust the
heating or cooling system to draw
fresh air when idling the engine:
Exhaust gas is dangerous. When the
vehicle is stopped with the windows
closed and the engine running for a
long time even in an open area,
exhaust gas, which contains poisonous
carbon monoxide, could enter the
cabin. Loss of consciousness or even
death could occur.
Clear snow from underneath and
around your vehicle, particularly the
tail pipe, before starting the engine:
Running the engine when a vehicle is
stopped in deep snow is dangerous.
The exhaust pipe could be blocked by
the snow, allowing exhaust gas to
enter the cabin. Because exhaust gas
contains poisonous carbon monoxide,
it could cause loss of consciousness or
even death to occupants in the cabin.
Fuel-Filler Lid and Cap

Fuel-Filler Lid and Cap
WARNING
When removing the fuel- fi ller cap,
loosen the cap slightly and wait for
any hissing to stop, then remove it:
Fuel spray is dangerous. Fuel can burn
skin and eyes and cause illness if
ingested. Fuel spray is released when
there is pressure in the fuel tank and
the fuel- fi ller cap is removed too
quickly.
Before refueling, stop the engine, and
always keep sparks and fl ames away
from the fi ller neck:
Fuel vapor is dangerous. It could be
ignited by sparks or fl ames causing
serious burns and injuries.
Additionally, use of the incorrect
fuel- fi ller cap or not using a fuel- fi ller
cap may result in a fuel leak, which
could result in serious burns or death
in an accident.
Do not continue refueling after the
fuel pump nozzle shuts o ff
automatically:
Continuing to add fuel after the fuel
pump nozzle has shut o ff automatically
is dangerous because over fi lling the
fuel tank may cause fuel over fl ow or
leakage. Fuel over fl ow and leakage
could damage the vehicle and if the
fuel ignites it could cause a fi re and
explosion resulting in serious injury or
death.
