WARNING
Automotive fuels are flamma-
ble/explosive materials. When
refueling, please note the fol-
lowing guidelines carefully.
Failure to follow these guide-
lines may result in severe per-
sonal injury, severe burns or
death by fire or explosion.
Before refueling always note
the location of the Emergency
Gasoline Shut-Off, if available,
at the gas station facility.
Before touching the fuel noz-
zle or fuel filler cap, you
should eliminate potentially
dangerous static electricity
discharge by touching anoth-
er metal part of the front of the
vehicle, a safe distance away
from the fuel filler neck, noz-
zle, or other gas source.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Do not get back into a vehicle
once you have begun refuel-
ing. Do not touch, rub or slide
against any item or fabric
(polyester, satin, nylon, etc.)
capable of producing static
electricity. Static electricity
discharge can ignite fuel
vapors resulting in explosion.
If you must re-enter the vehi-
cle, you should once again
eliminate potentially danger-
ous static electricity dis-
charge by touching a metal
part of the vehicle, away from
the fuel filler neck, nozzle or
other gasoline source.
When using a portable fuel
container be sure to place the
container on the ground prior
to refueling. Static electricity
discharge from the container
can ignite fuel vapors causing
a fire. Once refueling has
begun, contact with the vehi-
cle should be maintained until
the filling is complete.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Use only portable fuel con-
tainers designed to carry and
store gasoline.
Do not use cellular phones
around a gas station or while
refueling any vehicle. Electric
current and/or electronic
interference from cellular
phones can potentially ignite
fuel vapors causing a fire. If
you must use your cellular
phone use it in a place away
from the gas station.
When refueling always shut
the engine off. Sparks pro-
duced by electrical compo-
nents 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 securely closed,
before starting the engine. You
should hear 3 "clicks" when
closing the fuel cap.
