WARNING -
Refueling
dangers
Automotive fuels are flammable mate-
rials. When refueling, please note the
following guidelines carefully. Failure
to follow these guidelines may result
in severe personal injury, severe
burns or death by fire or explosion.
• Read and follow all warning at the
gas station facility.
• Before refueling note the location of
the Emergency Petrol Shut-Off, if
available, at the gas station facility.
• Before touching the fuel nozzle, you
should eliminate potentially danger-
ous static electricity discharge by
touching another metal part of the
vehicle, a safe distance away from
the fuel filler neck, nozzle, or other
gas source.

• Do not get back into a vehicle once
you have begun refueling since you
can generate static electricity by
touching, rubbing or sliding against
any item or fabric (polyester, satin,
nylon, etc.) capable of producing stat-
ic electricity. Static electricity dis-
charge can ignite fuel vapors result-
ing in rapid burning. If you must re-
enter the vehicle, you should once
again eliminate potentially dangerous
static electricity discharge by touch-
ing a metal part of the vehicle, away
from the fuel filler neck, nozzle or
other petrol source.
• 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 refuel-
ing has begun, contact with the
vehicle should be maintained until
the filling is complete.
Features of your vehicle
(Continued)
Use only approved portable plastic
fuel containers designed to carry
and store petrol.
• Do not use cellular phones while
refueling. Electric current and/or
electronic interference from cellular
phones can potentially ignite fuel
vapors causing a fire.
• When refueling, always shut the
engine off. Sparks produced by
electrical components related to the
engine can ignite fuel vapors caus-
ing a fire. Once refueling is com-
plete, check to make sure the filler
cap and filler door are securely
closed, before starting the engine.
• DO NOT use matches or a lighter
and DO NOT SMOKE or leave a lit
cigarette in your vehicle while at a
gas station especially during refuel-
ing. Automotive fuel is highly flam-
mable and can, when ignited, result
in fire.
