WARNING
Petrol is highly flammable and explosive.
Failure to follow these guidelines may
result in SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
僅 Read and follow all warnings posted
at the gas station.
僅 Before refuelling, note the location of
the Emergency Petrol Shut-Off, if
available, at the gas station.
僅 Before touching the fuel nozzle, you
should eliminate the potential build-
up of static electricity by touching a
metal part of the vehicle, a safe dis-
tance away from the fuel filler neck,
nozzle, or other gas source, with your
bare hand.
僅 Do not use cellular phones whilst refu-
elling. Electric current and/or elec-
tronic interference from cellular
phones can potentially ignite fuel
vapours and cause a fire.
僅 Do not get back into a vehicle once
you have begun refuelling. You can
generate a build-up of static electric-
ity by touching, rubbing or sliding
against any item or fabric capable of
producing static electricity. Static elec-
tricity discharge can ignite fuel
vapours causing a fire. If you must re-
enter the vehicle, you should once
again eliminate potentially dangerous
static electricity discharge by touching
a metal part of the vehicle, away from
the fuel filler neck, nozzle or other
petrol source, with your bare hand.
僅 When refuelling, always shift the gear
to the P (Park) position, set the park-
ing brake, and place the ignition
switch or ENGINE START/STOP but-
ton to the LOCK/OFF position.
僅 Sparks produced by electrical compo-
nents related to the engine can ignite
fuel vapours causing a fire.
僅 When using an approved portable
fuel container, be sure to place the
container on the ground prior to refu-
elling. Static electricity discharge from
the container can ignite fuel vapours
causing a fire. Once refuelling has
begun, contact between your bare
hand and the vehicle should be main-
tained until the filling is complete.
僅 Use only approved portable plastic
fuel containers designed to carry and
store petrol.
僅 Do not use matches or a lighter and
do not smoke or leave a lit cigarette in
your vehicle whilst at a gas station,
especially during refuelling.
僅 Do not over-fill or top-off your vehicle
tank, which can cause petrol spillage.
