pressurized fuel sprays out, it
can cover your clothes or skin
and subject you to the risk of
fire and burns.
Always check that the fuel cap is
installed securely to prevent fuel
spillage in the event of an accident.
✽ ✽ NOTICE

sion risk
Read and follow all warnings
posted at the gas station facili-
ty. Failure to follow all warnings
will result in severe personal
injury, severe burns or death

WARNING
- Static elec-
tricity
• Before touching the fuel noz-
zle, you should eliminate
potentially dangerous static
electricity discharge by touch-
ing another metal part of the
vehicle, a safe distance away
from the fuel filler neck, noz-
zle, or other gas source.
• Do not get back into a vehicle
once you have begun refuel-
ing since you can generate
static electricity by touching,
rubbing or sliding against any
item or fabric (polyester, satin,
nylon, etc.) capable of produc-
ing static electricity. Static
electricity discharge
ignite fuel vapors resulting in
rapid burning. If you must
reenter the vehicle,
should once again eliminate
potentially dangerous static
electricity discharge by touch-
ing a metal part of the vehicle,
away from the fuel filler neck,
nozzle or other gasoline
source.
