78 1-5. Refueling
WARNING
■Refueling the vehicle
Observe the following precautions while refueling the vehicle.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●Do not handle fuel indoors.
●After 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 refueling because sparks resulting from
static electricity can cause fuel vapors to ignite while refueling.
●Always 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 of the filler neck and cause
injury.
●Do not allow anyone that has not discharged static electricity from their
body to come close to an open fuel tank.
●Do not allow anyone to approach the area of the vehicle near the fuel filler
pipe while refueling is in progress.
●Do not inhale vaporized fuel.
Fuel contains substances that are harmful if inhaled.
●Do not smoke while refueling the vehicle.
Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite and cause a fire.
●Do 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.

Before driving
WARNING
■When refueling
Observe the following precautions to prevent fuel overflowing from the fuel
tank:
●Securely insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel filler neck
●Stop filling the tank after the fuel nozzle automatically clicks off
●Do not top off the fuel tank
●Observe other precautions that are posted at the service station.
●Turn the cap to the right until it clicks to ensure that it is fully tightened. If
the cap is not securely tightened, fuel spillage could occur in the event of
an accident, creating a fire hazard.
■When replacing the fuel cap
Do not use anything but a genuine fuel tank cap designed for your vehicle.
Doing so may cause a fire or other incident which may result in death or seri-
ous injury.
CAUTION
■Refueling
●Do not spill fuel during refueling.
Doing so may damage the vehicle, such as causing the emission control
system to operate abnormally or damaging fuel system components or the
vehicle's painted surface.
●Never add any cleaning agents to the fuel tank. The addition of a cleaning
agent may cause damage to the fuel system.
●Immediately put fuel in the tank whenever the low fuel warning light illumi-
nates. Engine misfires as a result of an empty tank could cause damage to
the engine. Continuing to operate your vehicle at an extremely low fuel
level may result in a reduction of engine performance.

When driving
■After the engine starts
In order to secure a rich exhaust sound when starting the vehicle and envi-
ronmental performance, air intake and exhaust sounds become loud and
vibrations may increase for a little while after the engine starts. This is not a
malfunction.
■Operating your vehicle in a foreign country
Comply with the relevant vehicle registration laws and confirm the availability
of the correct fuel. (oP. 467)
■REV indicator
WARNING
■When starting the vehicle (vehicles with an automatic transmission)
●Always keep your foot on the brake pedal while stopped with the engine
running. This prevents the vehicle from creeping.
●Firmly depress the brake pedal because engine speed may increase
immediately after starting the engine, when the air conditioning system is
operating, when turning the steering wheel, etc., thereby causing creeping
to become stronger. Apply the parking brake as necessary.
When the set engine speed is reached
the REV indicator comes on and a buzzer
sounds to inform the driver.
(oP. 210, 223)
(When the engine speed enters the red
zone, the REV indicator flashes regard-
less of settings.)

When driving
Shift position indicator
The selected shift position will be
displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display.
The selected shift position will not
appear in the following situations:
• When the shift lever is in neu-
tral.
• When the vehicle speed is 6
mph (10 km/h) or less (except
when the shift lever is in R).
• When the clutch pedal is
depressed.
The default setting of the indicator
is off. The indicator can be turned
on/off. (
oP. 209, 223)
*1: Vehicles with a monochrome multi-information display
*2: Vehicles with a color multi-information display
Shift-up indicator
To help enable fuel-efficient driv-
ing, the shift-up indicator flashes
3 times to indicate upshift timing.
The default setting of the indicator
is off. The indicator can be turned
on/off. (

Instrument panel light control
The brightness of the instrument panel lights can be adjusted.
Brighter
Darker
■The meters and display illuminate when
Vehicles without a keyless access with push button start system
The engine switch is in the “ON” position.
Vehicles with a keyless access with push button start system
The push-button ignition switch is in “ON” mode.
■The brightness of the instrument panel lights
When the parking lights or the headlights turn on, the instrument panel lights
will dim. However, when the instrument panel brightness control dial is
turned to the up most position, the instrument panel lights will not dim even
when the parking lights or headlights turn on.
■Fuel gauge
●When the indicator needle is close to “E”, promptly refuel the vehicle.
●The relationship between the indicator needle and the consumed amount
(remaining fuel) is not always accurate. Only use it as a reference.
●When the vehicle is on an incline or curve, sudden acceleration and
stops and so forth cause the fuel inside the tank to move which may
cause the indicator needle to move up and down.
