WARNING: The flow of fuel through a fuel pump nozzle can
produce static electricity, which can cause a fire if fuel is

pumped into an ungrounded fuel container.

severe injuries. To help avoid injuries to you and others:

• Read and follow all the instructions on the pump island;
• Turn off your engine when you are refueling;
• Do not smoke if you are near fuel or refueling your vehicle;

cargo area).

filling.

position.
