WARNING - Refueling
If pressurized fuel sprays out, it
can cover your clothes or skin
and thus subject you to the risk
of fire and burns. Always
remove the fuel cap carefully
and slowly. If the cap is venting
fuel or if you hear a hissing
sound, wait until the condition
stops before completely
removing the cap.
Do not "top off" after the nozzle
automatically shuts off when
refueling.
Tighten the cap until it clicks
one time, otherwise the
Malfunction Indicator Light
will illuminate.
Always check that the fuel cap
is installed securely to prevent
fuel spillage in the event of an
accident.
