QFuel tank opening for unleaded gasoline
To help prevent incorrect fueling, your vehi-
cle has a fuel tank opening that only accom-
modates the special nozzle on unleaded
fuel pumps.
Opening the fuel tank cap
The fuel tank of your vehicle has a
special structure, which requires a
reduction in fuel tank pressure
before refueling. After the opener
switch has been pressed, it will take
several seconds until the vehicle is
ready for refueling.

WARNING
QWhen refueling the vehicle
Observe the following precautions while
refueling the vehicle. Failure to do so
may result in death or serious injury.
OAfter exiting the vehicle and before
opening the fuel door, touch an
unpainted metal surface to discharge
any static electricity. It is important to
discharge static electricity before refu-
eling because sparks resulting from
static electricity can cause fuel vapors
to ignite while refueling.
OAlways hold the grips on the fuel tank
cap and turn it slowly to remove it.
A whooshing sound may be heard
when the fuel tank cap is loosened.
Wait until the sound cannot be heard
before fully removing the cap. In hot
weather, pressurized fuel may spray
out the filler neck and cause injury.
ODo not allow anyone that has not dis-
charged static electricity from their
body to come close to an open fuel
tank.
ODo not inhale vaporized fuel.
Fuel contains substances that are
harmful if inhaled.
ODo not smoke while refueling the vehi-
cle.
Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite
and cause a fire.
ODo not return to the vehicle or touch
any person or object that is statically
charged.
This may cause static electricity to
build up, resulting in a possible ignition
hazard.
QWhen refueling
Observe the following precautions to
prevent fuel overflowing from the fuel
tank:
OSecurely insert the fuel nozzle into the
fuel filler neck.
OStop filling the tank after the fuel noz-
zle automatically clicks off.
ODo not top off the fuel tank.
