(Continued)
Do not get back into a vehiclewhile refueling. You may build
up static electricity by touch-
ing, rubbing or sliding against
any item or fabric capable of
producing static electricity.
Static electricity discharge
may ignite fuel vapors, caus-
ing a fire. When you must re-
enter the vehicle, you should
eliminate potentially danger-
ous static electricity once
again by touching a metal part
of the vehicle with your bare
hand, keeping a safe distance
away from the fuel filler neck,
nozzle, or other gas source.
When using an approved portable fuel container, make
sure to place the container on
the ground, before refueling.
Static electricity discharged
from the container may ignite
fuel vapors, causing a fire.
Once refueling has begun,
contact between your bare
hand and the vehicle should
be maintained until the filling
is complete.
Use only approved portable plastic fuel containers
designed to carry and store
gasoline.
When refueling, always set the shift lever in P (Park), set the
parking brake, and turn OFF
the Engine Start/Stop button.
Sparks produced by electrical
components related to the
engine may ignite fuel vapors,
causing a fire.
(Continued)(Continued)
Do not use matches or alighter and do not smoke or
leave a lit cigarette in your
vehicle while at a gas station,
especially during refueling.
Do not overfill or "top-off" your vehicle tank, which may
cause gasoline spillage.
When a fire breaks out during refueling, stay away from the
vehicle, and immediately noti-
fy it to the gas station manag-
er, and call the local fire
department. Follow any safety
instructions they provide.
When pressurized fuel sprays out, it may cover your clothes
or skin. This puts you at risk
of fire and burns. Always care-
fully and slowly open the fuel
cap. When the fuel vents out
from the tank, or when you
hear a hissing sound, wait
until those stop before com-
pletely opening the cap.
Always check that the fuel cap is securely closed to prevent
fuel spillage in the event of an
accident.
