• Do not use cellular phones around a gas
station or while refueling any vehicle.
Electric current and/or electronic inter-
ference from cellular phones can poten-
tially ignite fuel vapors causing a fire. If
you must use your cellular phone use it
in a place away from the gas station.
• When refueling always shut the engine
off. Sparks produced by electrical
components related to the engine can
ignite fuel vapors causing a fire. Always
insure that the engine is OFF before and
during refueling. Once refueling is
complete, check to make sure the fuel
filler cap and door are securely closed,
before starting the engine.

• Do not light any fire around a gas
station. DO NOT use matches or a lighter
and DO NOT SMOKE or leave a lit ciga-
rette in your vehicle while at a gas
station especially during refueling.
Automotive fuel is highly flammable and
can, when ignited, result in explosion by
flames.
• If a fire breaks out during refueling,
leave the vicinity of the vehicle, and
immediately contact the manager of the
gas station or contact the police and
local fire department. Follow any safety
instructions they provide.
