this vehicle. See page 12.

Refueling
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive under certain conditions.
• Always exercise extreme caution whenever handling gasoline.
• Always turn off the engine when refueling.
• Always refuel outdoors or in a well ventilated area free of any source of flame
or sparks.
• Always use an approved gasoline container to store fuel and remove the
container from the vehicle before filling to avoid fuel ignition due to electrical
static discharge.
• Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in or near the area where
refueling is performed or where gasoline is stored.
• Do not overfill the tank. Do not fill the tank neck.
• If gasoline spills on your skin or clothing, immediately wash it off with soap and
