WARNING
D Gasoline vapor is highly flammable. Before refueling, always
first stop the engine and make sure that there are no lighted ciga-
rettes, open flames or electrical sparks in the adjacent area.
D When opening the cap, do not remove the cap quickly. Fuel
may be under pressure and spray out of the fuel filler neck espe-
cially in hot weather, which may cause injury.
CAUTION
D Never add any cleaning agents to the fuel tank. The addition of
a cleaning agent may cause damage to the fuel system.
D Make sure that the cap is tightened until it clicks to prevent
fuel spillage in the event of an accident.
D Do not let fuel spill on the exterior surfaces of the vehicle.
Fuels may cause paint damage, which is not covered under the
SUBARU Limited Warranty.
D Always use a genuine SUBARU fuel filler cap. If you use the
wrong cap, it may not fit or have proper venting, and your fuel
tank and emission control system might be damaged.
