sion risk
Read and follow all warnings
posted at the gas station facili-
ty. Failure to follow all warnings
may result in severe personal
injury, severe burns or death
due to fire or explosion.
WARNING
- Static
electricity
• Before touching the fuel noz-
zle, you should eliminate
potentially dangerous static
electricity discharge by touch-
ing another metal part of the
vehicle, a safe distance away
from the fuel filler neck, noz-
zle, or other gas source.

Static electricity discharge can
ignite fuel vapors resulting in
rapid burning. If you must reen-
ter the vehicle, you should once
again eliminate potentially dan-
gerous static electricity dis-
charge by touching a metal part
of the vehicle, away from the
fuel filler neck, nozzle or other
gasoline source.
WARNING
- Portable fuel
container
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.
