ously injured if it is misused or mis-
handled. Always stop the engine and
do not smoke or allow open flames or
sparks near the vehicle when refuel-
ing.
O Fuel may be under pressure. Turn the
cap a quarter turn, and wait for any
hissing sound to stop to prevent fuel
from spraying out and possible per-
sonal injury. Then remove the cap.
O Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off
automatically.
Continued refueling may cause fuel
overflow, resulting in fuel spray and
possibly a fire.
O Use only an original equipment type
fuel filler cap as a replacement. It has
a built-in safety valve needed for
proper operation of the fuel system
and emission control system. An in-
correct cap can result in a serious
malfunction and possible injury. It
could also cause the malfunc-
tion indicator lamp to come on.
O Do not fill a portable fuel container in
the vehicle or trailer. Static electricity
can cause an explosion of flammable
liquid, vapor or gas in any vehicle or
trailer. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death when filling portable
fuel containers:
Ð Always place the container on the
ground when filling.
Ð Do not use electronic devices
while filling.
Ð Keep the pump nozzle in contact
with the container while you are
filling it. Ð Use only approved portable fuel
containers for flammable liquid.
O Never pour fuel into the throttle body
to attempt to start your vehicle.
CAUTION O If fuel is spilled on the car body, flush
it away with water to avoid paint dam-
age.
O Tighten until the fuel filler cap clicks.
Failure to tighten the fuel filler cap
properly may cause the
mal-
function indicator lamp (MIL) to illu-
minate. If the
lamp illuminates
because the fuel filler cap is loose or
missing, tighten or install the cap and
continue to drive the vehicle. The
lamp should turn off after a few
driving trips. If the
lamp does
not turn off after a few driving trips,
have the vehicle inspected by an au-
thorized INFINITI retailer.SPA1563
