SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: Do not overfill the fuel tank. The pressure in an
overfilled tank may cause leakage and lead to fuel spray and fire.

WARNING: The fuel system may be under pressure. If you hear
a hissing sound near the fuel filler inlet, do not refuel until the

sound stops. Otherwise, fuel may spray out, which could cause serious
personal injury.

WARNING: Automotive fuels can cause serious injury or death if
misused or mishandled.

WARNING: The flow of fuel through a fuel pump nozzle can
produce static electricity. This can cause a fire if you are filling

an ungrounded container.

WARNING: Fuel ethanol and gasoline may contain benzene,
which is a cancer-causing agent.

WARNING: When refueling always shut the engine off and never
allow sparks or open flames near the filler neck. Never smoke

while refueling. Fuel vapor is extremely hazardous under certain
conditions. Care should be taken to avoid inhaling excess fumes.

WARNING: Do not remove the fuel pump nozzle from its full
inserted position when refueling.

Observe the following guidelines when handling automotive fuel:
• Extinguish all smoking materials and any open flames before refueling

your vehicle.

• Always turn off the vehicle before refueling.
