Engine Hood - Suzuki VITARA Series Manual

WARNING
Be sure to observe the following
points when refueling. Otherwise,
gasoline may catch a fire from fuel
and it may cause a fire.
• Always stop the engine or the
strong hybrid system first.
• Close all the doors and windows
when refueling.
• As gasoline is highly flammable,
open sparks such as lit cigarettes
are strictly prohibited.
WARNING
If you need to replace the fuel cap,
use a genuine SUZUKI cap. Use of an
improper cap can result in a malfunc-
tion of the fuel system or emission
control system. It may also result in
fuel leakage in the event of an acci-
dent.
