WARNING:
- When refueling always shut the
engine off. Sparks produced by
electrical components related to
the engine can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. Always insure that
the engine is OFF before and dur-
ing refueling. Once refueling is
complete, check to make sure the
fuel filler cap and door are se-
curely closed, before starting the
engine.
- Do not light any fire around a gas
station. DO NOT use matches or a
lighter and DO NOT SMOKE or
leave a lit cigarette in your vehicle
while at a gas station especially
during refueling. Automotive fuel
is highly flammable and can, when
ignited, result in explosion by
flames.
- If a fire breaks out during refueling,
leave the vicinity of the vehicle,
and immediately contact the man-
ager of the gas station or contact
the police and local fire depart-
ment. Follow any safety instruc-
tions they provide.
