Warnings and Cautions
for When the Refueling
WARNING
Always heed the following when
refueling.
Turn off the engine.
Keep sparks and flames away from
the fuel-filler port.
Wipe off any spilled fuel as soon as
possible.
Otherwise, it could cause a fire or
explosion because fuel or fuel vapor
could ignite easily.
Before refueling, make sure to
discharge the static electricity in your
body by touching a metal object on
the vehicle body.
An electrical discharge could ignite the
fuel or cause serious burns.
Always heed the following while
refueling.
Always refuel the vehicle by yourself
and do not allow other people to
come close to the fuel-filler port.
Do not go back inside the cabin or
touch a person or object charged
with static electricity.
Do not use any electronic devices
such as a mobile phone or
Smartphone.
It could ignite the fuel or cause serious
burns caused by the charged static
electricity in your body again.
When opening/closing the fuel-filler
cap, always turn the fuel-filler cap by
holding the knob of the fuel-filler cap.
An electrical discharge could ignite the
fuel or cause serious burns.
Slowly open the fuel-filler cap, wait
for any hissing to stop, then open the
cap.
If the fuel-filler cap is opened quickly,
fuel may spray out and cause a fire.
Spraying fuel can also be harmful if it
gets in the eyes or on the skin.
Do not breath fuel vapors.
Toxic substances might be included in
the fuel.
Insert the refueling nozzle into the
fuel-filler port securely.
If the nozzle is not inserted sufficiently,
it may delay the auto stop when the
tank is full, resulting in the fuel spilling
over and a possible fire.
Do not continue fueling after it is
stopped automatically.
If you continue fueling, fuel may spill
over causing a fire.
Do not pull out the refueling nozzle
immediately after the fuel is stopped
automatically.
The fuel remaining in the refueling
nozzle may spill out and cause a fire.
Securely close the fuel-filler cap.
If the fuel-filler cap is not closed
securely, fuel may leak while driving
the vehicle which could cause a fire.
CAUTION
Follow the fueling instructions
indicated at the gas station when
refueling.
