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 noz-
zle, you should eliminate the
potential build-up of static
electricity by touching a metal
3-58
part of the vehicle, a safe dis-
tance away from the fuel filler
neck, nozzle, or other gas
source, with your bare hand.
•
Do not use cellular phones
while refueling. Electric cur-
rent and/or electronic interfer-
ence from cellular phones can
potentially ignite fuel vapors
and cause a fire.
•
Do not get back into a vehicle
once you have begun refuel-
ing. 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 press
the shift button with P (Park)
position, 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.
•
Use only approved portable
plastic fuel containers
designed to carry and store
gasoline.
