■
Refueling the vehicle
Observe the following precautions while refueling the vehicle.

In hot weather, pressurized fuel may spray out the filler neck and cause

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.
