(Continued)
• Do not get back into a vehicle
while refueling. You may build
up static electricity by touch-
ing, rubbing or sliding against
any item or fabric capable of
producing static electricity.
Static electricity discharge
may ignite fuel vapors, caus-
ing a fire. When you must re-
enter the vehicle, you should
eliminate potentially danger-
ous static electricity once
again by touching a metal part
of the vehicle with your bare
hand, keeping a safe distance
away from the fuel filler neck,
nozzle, or other gas source.
• When using an approved
portable fuel container, make
sure to place the container on
the ground, before refueling.
Static electricity discharged
from the container may ignite
fuel vapors, causing a fire.
Once refueling has begun,
contact between your bare
hand and the vehicle should
be maintained until the filling
is complete.
• Use only approved portable
plastic fuel
designed to carry and store
gasoline.
• When refueling, always set the
shift lever in P (Park), set the
parking brake, and turn OFF
the Engine Start/Stop button.
Sparks produced by electrical
components related to the
engine may ignite fuel vapors,
causing a fire.
Convenient features of your vehicle
(Continued)
• Do not use matches or a
lighter and do not smoke or
leave a lit cigarette in your
vehicle while at a gas station,
especially during refueling.
• Do not overfill or "top-off"
your vehicle tank, which may
cause gasoline spillage.
• When a fire breaks out during
refueling, stay away from the
vehicle, and immediately noti-
fy it to the gas station manag-
er, and call the local fire
department. Follow any safety
instructions they provide.
• When pressurized fuel sprays
out, it may cover your clothes
or skin. This puts you at risk
of fire and burns. Always care-
fully and slowly open the fuel
cap. When the fuel vents out
from the tank, or when you
hear a hissing sound, wait
until those stop before com-
pletely opening the cap.
• Always check that the fuel cap
is securely closed to prevent
fuel spillage in the event of an
accident.
