3194-4. Refueling
UK_AURIS/AURIS_HV_EE (OM12E33E)

Driving
CAUTION
When refueling the vehicle
Observe the following precautions while refueling the vehicle. Failure to do
so may result in death or serious injury.
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 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 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.
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.
NOTICE
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.

system to activate.
• The 12-volt battery is discharged.
• After the 12-volt battery terminals have been disconnected and recon-
nected after a 12-volt battery replacement, etc.
• The engine coolant temperature is low.
Automatic reactivation of the Stop & Start system
Vehicles without a smart entry & start system: Even if the Stop & Start system
is disabled by the Stop & Start cancel switch, it will be automatically re-
enabled once the engine switch is turned to the “LOCK” position then to the
“START” position.
Vehicles with a smart entry & start system: Even if the Stop & Start system is
disabled by the Stop & Start cancel switch, it will be automatically re-enabled
once the engine switch is turned off then the engine is started.
The Stop & Start system protection feature
Vehicles without a smart entry & start system: When an excessively loud
sound is being projected by the audio system, the audio system may be auto-
matically cut off in order to maintain power for the Stop & Start system func-
tion.
If this occurs, turning the engine switch to the “LOCK” position then to the
“ACC” or “ON” position re-enables the audio system.
Vehicles with a smart entry & start system: When an excessively loud sound
is being projected by the audio system, the audio system may be automati-
cally cut off in order to maintain power for the Stop & Start system function.
If this occurs, turning the engine switch off then to ACCESSORY mode or
IGNITION ON mode re-enables the audio system.
Steering wheel operation
When the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system, the steering wheel
may become heavier than when driving.
