[ Read and follow all warnings posted
at the gas station.

[ Before refueling, note the location
of the Emergency Fuel Shut-Off, if
available, at the gas station.

leave the vicinity of the vehicle, and
immediately contact the manager
of the gas station and then contact
the local fire department. Follow any
safety instructions they provide.

[ 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.

[ Always check that the fuel cap is
installed securely to prevent fuel
spillage in the event of an accident.

WARNING
In case of using EV drive mode for a certain time without running engine,
EMM (Engine Maintenance Mode) will
automatically activate by the system to
protect the fuel system and the engine.
Therefore, even though if it is possible
to use EV drive mode with enough
battery power, the engine may run by
the system to protect fuel system and
the engine. If you leave the fuel without
refueling or using for over 6 months, the
remained fuel in the fuel system may
be deteriorated. From this, corrosion
or blocking problem may occur. It is
recommended using minimum 40 % of
remained fuel at least every 6 months
by selecting Hybrid (CS)mode and
refuel the vehicle with new fuel.
