Before refueling the vehicle
WARNING
■
When refueling the vehicle
Observe the following precautions
while refueling the vehicle. Failure to
do so may result in death or serious
injury.
●
After exiting the vehicle and before
opening the fuel door, touch an
unpainted metal surface to dis-
charge any static electricity. It is
important to discharge static elec-
tricity before refueling because
sparks resulting from static electric-
ity can cause fuel vapors to ignite
while refueling.
●
Always hold the grips on the fuel
tank cap and turn it slowly to
remove it.
A whooshing sound may be heard
when the fuel tank cap is loosened.
Wait until the sound cannot be
heard before fully removing the
cap. In hot weather, pressurized
fuel may spray out of the filler neck
and cause injury.
●
Do not allow anyone that has not
discharged static electricity from
their body to come close to an open
fuel tank.
●
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 stati-
cally charged. This may cause
static electricity to build up, result-
ing in a possible ignition hazard.
■
When refueling
Observe the following precautions to
prevent fuel overflowing from the fuel
tank:
●
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
■
Refueling
Do not spill fuel during refueling.
Doing so may damage the vehicle,
such as causing the emission control
system to operate abnormally or dam-
aging fuel system components or the
vehicle’s painted surface.
