REFUELING
WARNING:
Fuel vapor burns violently and a fuel fire can cause
severe injuries. To help avoid injuries to you and others:
•
Read and follow all the instructions on the pump island.
•
Turn off your engine when you are refueling.
•
Do not smoke if you are near fuel or refueling your vehicle.
•
Keep sparks, flames and smoking materials away from fuel.
•
Stay outside your vehicle and do not leave the fuel pump unattended
when refueling your vehicle - this is against the law in some places.
•
Keep children away from the fuel pump; never let children pump
fuel.
•
Do not use personal electronic devices while refueling.
Use the following guidelines to avoid electrostatic charge build-up when
filling an ungrounded fuel container:
•
Place approved fuel container on the ground.
•
DO NOT fill a fuel container while it is in the vehicle (including the
cargo area).
•
Keep the fuel pump nozzle in contact with the fuel container while
filling.
•
DO NOT use a device that would hold the fuel pump handle in the fill
position.
Fuel Filler Cap
WARNING:
The fuel system may be under pressure. If the fuel
filler cap is venting vapor or if you hear a hissing sound, wait
until it stops before completely removing the fuel filler cap. Otherwise,
fuel may spray out and injure you or others.
WARNING:
If you do not use the proper fuel filler cap, excessive
vacuum in the fuel tank may damage the fuel system or cause
the fuel cap to disengage in a collision, which may result in personal
injury.
