CAUTION
Static electricity can ignite
gasoline vapor. You can be
burned and your vehicle
damaged.
Before you open the fuel filler
cap, touch a metal part on your
vehicle to discharge the static
electricity in your body.
Do not return to your seat while
refueling. If you return to your
seat, your body may be
recharged with static electricity.
CAUTION
If you open the cap rapidly
while pressure inside the tank is
high, gasoline may spray out
from the tank. Before you fully
open the cap, turn it slightly to
release the pressure from inside
the tank.
If you hear a "hiss", wait for that
to stop. The "hiss" means there
is still some pressure left. Then,
remove the cap.
Section 4
NOTICE
If you have to get a new cap, be
sure to get the right one. Other-
wise, the cap may not vent
properly, leading to serious fuel
tank and emissions system
damage. Your dealer knows the
correct cap for your vehicle.
