To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not "top off" the fuel tank after filling.
Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the vehicle when the fuel door is
open or the tank is being filled.
Never add fuel when the engine is running. This is in violation of most state and
federal fire regulations and may cause the "Malfunction Indicator Light" to turn on.
A fire may result if fuel is pumped into a portable container that is inside of a
vehicle.You could be burned. Always place fuel containers on the ground while
filling.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)

This system enhances directional control and stability of the vehicle under various driving
conditions.
ESC uses sensors in the vehicle to determine the vehicle path intended by the driver and
compares it to the actual path of the vehicle. When the actual path does not match the
intended path, ESC applies the brake of the appropriate wheel to assist in counteracting
the oversteer or understeer condition.
ESC Operating Modes
The ESC system has two available operating modes:
"Full On"
This is the normal operating mode for ESC. Whenever the vehicle is started the system
will be in this mode. This mode should be used for most driving situations. ESC should
only be turned to "Partial Off" for specific reasons as noted.
