WARNING -

Refueling

• If pressurized fuel sprays out,

it can cause serious injuries.
Always remove the fuel cap
carefully and slowly. If the cap
is venting fuel or if you hear a
hissing sound, wait until the
condition stops before com-
pletely removing the cap.

• Because your vehicle uses an

ORVR (On-board Refuelling
Vapor Recovery) system, “Top
OFF” the vehicle very careful-
ly to prevent fuel splash-back.
