WARNING
!●Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You
could be burned or seriously injured when handling
it. When refuelling your vehicle, always turn the
engine off and keep away from flames, sparks, and
smoking materials. Always handle fuel in well-venti-
lated outdoor areas.●Before removing the fuel cap, be sure to get rid of
your body’s static electricity by touching a metal
part of the car or fuel pump. Any static electricity on
your body could create a spark that ignites fuel
vapour.●Perform the whole refuelling process (opening the
fuel tank filler door, removing the fuel cap, etc.) by
yourself. Do not let any other person come near the
fuel tank filler. If you allowed a person to help you
and that person was carrying static electricity, fuel
vapour could be ignited.●Do not move away from the fuel tank filler until
refuelling is finished. If you moved away and did
something else (for example, cleaning your wind-
screen) part-way through the refuelling process, you
could pick up a fresh charge of static electricity.●Be careful not to inhale fuel vapour. Fuel contains
toxic substances.●Keep the doors and windows closed while refuelling
the vehicle. If they were open, fuel vapour could get
into the cabin.
