eliminate potentially dangerous static
electricity discharge by touching a
metal part of the vehicle, away from the
fuel filler neck, nozzle, or other gasoline
source, with your bare hand.
• When refueling, always move the shift
lever to the P (Park) position, apply the
parking brake, and move the ignition
switch to the LOCK/OFF position.
Sparks produced by electrical
components related to the engine can
ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.
• When using an approved portable fuel
container, be sure to place the
container on the ground prior to
refueling. Static electricity discharge
from the container may ignite fuel
vapors causing a fire. Once refueling
has begun, contact between your bare
hand and maintain the vehicle until the
filling is complete.
• Use only approved portable plastic fuel
containers designed to carry and store
gasoline.
• Do not use matches or a lighter and do
not smoke or leave a lit cigarette in your
vehicle at a gas station,especially
during refueling.
• Do not over-fill or top-off your vehicle
tank, which may cause gasoline
spillage.
• If a fire breaks out during refueling, get
away from the vehicle, and
immediately contact a gas station
employee and then contact the local
fire department.
• If pressurized fuel sprays out, it can
cover your clothes or skin and increase
the risk of fire and burns. If the cap is
venting fuel or if you hear a hissing
sound, wait until the condition stops
before completely removing the cap.
• Always check that the fuel cap is
installed securely to prevent fuel
spillage in the event of a collision.

according to the "Fuel requirements"
suggested in chapter 9.
