of sparks, open flames, or other sources of
ignition such as the pilot lights of water heat-
ers and clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. When refueling, be sure to insert the pump nozzle into the fuel
tank filler hole. Stop filling when the fuel
reaches the bottom of the filler tube. Because
fuel expands when it heats up, heat from the
engine or the sun can cause fuel to spill out of
the fuel tank. 3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately.
NOTICE: Immediately wipe off spilled fuel
with a clean, dry, soft cloth, since fuel may
deteriorate painted surfaces or plastic
parts.
[ECB00982]
4. Turn the fuel tank cap fully clockwise to make sure it is securely closed.EBU38023FuelMake sure there is sufficient gasoline in the tank
before starting off. Refuel if necessary.
WARNING
EWB02532Gasoline is poisonous and can cause injury or
death. Handle gasoline with care. Never siphon
gasoline by mouth. If you should swallow some
gasoline or inhale a lot of gasoline vapor, or get
some gasoline in your eyes, see your doctor
immediately. If gasoline spills on your skin,
wash with soap and water. If gasoline spills on
your clothing, change your clothes.

TIPConfirm the gasoline pump nozzle has the same
fuel identification mark.
About the recommended fuel
If knocking or pinging occurs, try a different brand
or higher octane gasoline.
For Europe, use RON 95 octane or higher.
For Oceania, use RON 91 octane or higher.TIPGasoline containing ethanol can be used if the
ethanol content does not exceed 10% (E10). Gas-
oline containing methanol is not recommended
because it can cause damage to the fuel system
or vehicle performance problems. NOTICEECB00071Use only unleaded gasoline. The use of leaded
gasoline will cause severe damage to internal
engine parts, such as the valves and piston
rings, as well as to the exhaust system.
Recommended fuel:
Regular unleaded gasoline only

EBU19186Auxiliary DC jackNOTICEECB03760Do not use any single electrical accessory or
combination of accessories that require more
than the stated capacity at any one time. This
may overload the circuit and cause the fuse to
blow.
TIPWhen using a winch or other electrical accesso-
ries, the power taken from the DC jack must be re-
duced accordingly. A 12-V accessory, such as a work light or radio
with the proper adapter, can be used when the
main switch is turned on. However, to prevent bat-
tery drain, use when the engine is running and the
headlights are turned off.1. Start the engine.
2. Turn the headlights off.
3. Turn the accessory off.
4. Open the auxiliary DC jack cap.
5. Insert the accessory power plug into the jack.
6. Turn the accessory on.TIP When inserting or removing the accessory pow-
er plug, turn the accessory off.
 When the auxiliary DC jack is not being used,
cover it with the cap.
