Refueling the vehicle
& WARNING Risk of fire and explosion
caused by fuel
Fuels are highly inflammable.
You must avoid fire, open flames, creat‐
#
ing sparks and smoking.
Before refueling, switch off the engine
#
and, if installed in your vehicle, the sta‐
tionary heater.
& WARNING Risk of injury from fuel
Fuels are poisonous and harmful to your
health
Do not swallow fuel or let it come into
#
contact with skin, eyes or clothing.
Do not inhale fuel vapors.
#
Keep children away from fuel.
#
If you or other people come into contact with
fuel, observe the following:

Immediately rinse fuel off your skin with
#
soap and water.
If fuel comes into contact with your
#
eyes, immediately rinse them thor‐
oughly with clean water. Seek medical
attention immediately.
