WARNING


Always turn off the engine when refueling.


Do not refuel right after the engine has
been running and is still very hot.


Do not spill gasoline on the engine or ex-
haust pipe/muffler when refueling. Never
refuel while smoking, or while in the vicini-
ty of sparks, open flames, or other sources
of ignition such as the pilot lights of water
heaters and clothes dryers. Gasoline can
catch fire and you could be burned.


When transporting the vehicle in another
vehicle, be sure it is kept in an upright po-
sition. Otherwise, fuel may leak out of the
carburetor or fuel tank.


Gasoline is poisonous. If you should swal-
low some gasoline or inhale a lot of gaso-
line vapor, or get some gasoline in your
eyes, see your doctor immediately. If gaso-
line spills on your skin, wash with soap
and water. If gasoline spills on your cloth-
ing, change your clothes.

To reset a tripmeter, select it by pushing the “TRIP/
ODO” button, and then push the “TRIP/ODO” but-
ton for at least three seconds. The tripmeters can
be used to estimate the distance that can be trav-
eled with a full tank of fuel. This information will en-
able you to plan future fuel stops.NOTE:_ Holding in the “TRIP/ODO” button and then turning
the key to “ON” switches the display between
“mph” and “km/h”. _

Fuel
Make sure there is sufficient gasoline in the tank.NOTE:_ (for Europe only)
If knocking or pinging occurs, use a different brand
of gasoline or higher octane grade. _
Recommended fuel:
Unleaded gasoline only
For Europe: Regular unleaded gasoline
only with a research octane
number of 91 or higher
Fuel tank capacity:
30.0 L (6.60 Imp gal, 7.93 US gal)
EE.book Page 11 Monday, July 11, 2005 2:32 PM

5-13
CAUTION:_ Use only unleaded gasoline. The use of leaded
gasoline will cause severe damage to internal
engine parts, such as the valves and piston
rings, as well as to the exhaust system. _
WARNING


Do not overfill the fuel tank. Fuel expands
when it heats up. If the fuel tank is over-
filled, fuel could spill out due to heat from
the engine or the sun.


Be careful not to spill fuel, especially on
the engine or exhaust pipe which can
cause a fire and severe injury. Wipe up any
spilled fuel immediately.


Be sure the fuel tank cap is closed secure-
ly.
