Filling the fuel tank
Filling the fuel tank
WARNING
3
Gasoline is highly flammable and explo-
sive. You could be burned, seriously
injured or killed when handling it. When
refueling your vehicle, always turn the
engine off and keep away from flames,
sparks, and smoking materials. Always
handle fuel in well-ventilated outdoor
areas.
Before removing the fuel cap, be sure to
get rid of your body's static electricity by
touching a metal part of the car or fuel
pump. Any static electricity on your body
could create a spark that ignites fuel
vapor.
Perform the whole refueling process
(opening the fuel tank filler door, remov-
ing the fuel cap, etc.) by yourself. Do not
let any other person come near the fuel
tank filler. If you allowed a person to help
you and that person was carrying static
electricity, fuel vapor could be ignited.
Do not move away from the fuel tank filler
until refueling is finished. If you moved
away and did something else (for example,
sitting on a seat) part-way through the
refueling process, you could pick up a
fresh charge of static electricity.
Be careful not to inhale fuel vapor. Fuel
contains toxic substances.

WARNING
Since the fuel system may be under pres-
sure, remove the fuel tank filler cap
slowly. This relieves any pressure or vac-
uum that might have built up in the fuel
tank. If the cap is venting vapor or if you
hear a hissing sound, wait until it stops
before removing the cap. Otherwise, fuel
may spray out, injuring you or others.
