Danger

Fire hazard

ಗFuel can easily catch fire.

Never fill up the vehicle near open flames or burning cigarettes, and always switch off the engine first. Be careful that no
fuel is spilt, especially on hot vehicle components. Clean up spilt fuel immediately.

Fuel in the fuel tank expands when warm and can escape if the tank is overfilled. See specifications on filling up with fuel.

Warning

Danger of poisoning

ಗFuel is poisonous and a health hazard.

Avoid contact between fuel and skin, eyes and clothing. Do not inhale fuel vapors. If fuel gets into your eyes, rinse imme-
diately with water and contact a doctor. Wash affected skin areas immediately with soap and water. If fuel is swallowed,
contact a doctor immediately. Change clothing that has come into contact with fuel.
