WARNING
Refueling dangers
Automotive fuels are flammable
materials. When refueling, please
note the following guidelines
carefully. Failure to follow these
guidelines may result in severe
personal injury, severe burns or
death by fire or explosion.
• Read and follow all warnings at
the gas station facility.
• Before refueling note the location
of the Emergency Gasoline Shut-
Off, if available, at the gas station
facility.
• Before touching the fuel nozzle,
you should eliminate potentially
dangerous static electricity
discharge by touching another
metal part of the vehicle, a safe
distance away from the fuel filler
neck, nozzle, or other gas source.
• Do not get back into a vehicle
once you have begun refueling
since you can generate static
electricity by touching, rubbing
or sliding against any item or
fabric (polyester, satin, nylon,
etc.) capable of producing static
electricity. Static electricity
discharge can ignite fuel vapors
resulting in rapid burning. If you
must reenter 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 gasoline source.
• When using an approved portable
fuel container, be sure to place
the container on the ground prior
to refueling. Static electricity
discharge from the container
can ignite fuel vapors causing a
fire. Once refueling has begun,
contact with the vehicle should
be maintained until the filling
is complete. Use only approved
portable plastic fuel containers
designed to carry and store
gasoline.
• Do not use cellular phones while
refueling. Electric current and/
or electronic interference from
cellular phones can potentially
ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.
• When refueling, always shut the
engine off. Sparks produced by
electrical components related to
the engine can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. Once refueling is
complete, check to make sure
the filler cap and filler door are
