clockwise until it "clicks" one time.
2. Close the fuel filler door until it is
latched securely.

WARNING
Gasoline is highly flammable and
explosive. Failure to follow these
guidelines may result in SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH:
• Read and follow all warnings posted
at the gas station.
• Before refueling, note the location of
the Emergency Gasoline Shut-Off, if
available, at the gas station.
• Before touching the fuel nozzle, you
should eliminate the potential build-
up of static electricity by touching
a metal part of the vehicle, a safe
distance away from the fuel filler
neck, nozzle, or other gas source,
with your bare hand.
• Do not use cellular phones while
refueling. Electric current and/or
electronic interference from cellular
phones can potentially ignite fuel
vapors and cause a fire.
5-42
• Do not get back into a vehicle once
you have begun refueling. You
can generate a build-up of static
electricity by touching, rubbing
or sliding against any item or
fabric capable of producing static
electricity.
• Static electricity discharge can ignite
fuel vapors causing a fire. If you must
re-enter 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, with your bare hand.
• When refueling, always move the
shift lever to the P (Park) position
(for dual clutch transmission) or
first gear or R (Reverse, for manual
transmission), set the parking brake,
and place the ignition switch to the
LOCK/OFF position. Sparks produced
by electrical components related
to the engine can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire.
• 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 between your
bare hand and the vehicle should
be maintained until the filling is
complete.
