WARNING
!
●
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You
could be burned or seriously injured when handling
it. When refueling your vehicle, always turn the
engine off and keep away from flames, sparks, and
smoking materials. Always handle fuel in well-venti-
lated outdoor areas.
●
Before removing the fuel cap, be sure to get rid of
your body’s static electricity by touching a metal
part of either the car or the fuel pump. Any static
electricity on your body could create a spark that
ignites fuel vapor.
●
Perform the whole refueling process (opening the
fuel tank filler door, removing the fuel cap, etc.) by
yourself. Do not let any other person come near the
fuel tank filler. If you allowed a person to help you
and that person was carrying static electricity, fuel
vapor could be ignited.
●
Do not move away from the fuel tank filler until
refueling is finished. If you moved away and did
something else (for example, cleaning your wind-
screen) partway through the refueling process, you
could pick up a fresh charge of static electricity.
●
Be careful not to inhale fuel vapor. Fuel contains
toxic substances.
●
Keep the doors and windows closed while refueling
the vehicle. If they were open, fuel vapor could get
into the cabin.
