WARNING - Fuel Filling
Fuel may be under pressure. Always remove the
fuel cap carefully and slowly. If the cap is venting
fuel or if a hissing sound is heard, wait until the
condition stops before completely removing the
cap. If these precautions are not followed, fuel
may spray out and cause serious personal injury.
WARNING
Automotive fuels are flammable/explosive
materials. When refueling, please note the fol-
lowing guidelines carefully. Failure to follow
these guidelines may result in severe personal
injury, severe burns or death by fire or explo-
sion.
• Before refueling always note the location of
the Emergency Gasoline Shut-Off, if avail-
able, at the gas station facility.
• Before touching the fuel nozzle or fuel filler
cap, you should eliminate potentially dan-
gerous static electricity discharge by touch-
ing another metal part of the front of the
vehicle, a safe distance away from the fuel
filler neck, nozzle, or other gas source.
