WA R N I N G
■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 sur-
face to discharge any static 
electricity. It is important to dis-
charge static electricity before 
refueling because sparks result-
ing 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 f uel 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 possi-
ble 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.
