WARNING

■

When refueling the vehicle

Observe the following precautions

while refueling the vehicle. Failure

to do so may result in death or

serious injury.

●

After exiting the vehicle and

before opening the fuel door,

touch an unpainted metal sur-

face to discharge any static

electricity. It is important to dis-

charge static electricity before

refueling because sparks result-

ing from static electricity can

cause fuel vapors to ignite while

refueling.

●

Always hold the grips on the

fuel tank cap and turn it slowly

to remove it.

A whooshing sound may be

heard when the fuel tank cap is

loosened. Wait until the sound

cannot be heard before fully

removing the cap. In hot

weather, pressurized fuel may

spray out the filler neck and

cause injury.

●

Do not allow anyone that has

not discharged static electricity

from their body to come close to

an open fuel tank.

●

Do not inhale vaporized fuel.

Fuel contains substances that

are harmful if inhaled.

●

Do not smoke while refueling

the vehicle.

Doing so may cause the fuel to

ignite and cause a fire.

●

Do not return to the vehicle or

touch any person or object that

is statically charged.

This may cause static electricity

to build up, resulting in a possi-

ble ignition hazard.

■

When refueling

Observe the following precautions

to prevent fuel overflowing from

the fuel tank:

●

Securely insert the fuel nozzle

into the fuel filler neck.

●

Stop filling the tank after the fuel

nozzle automatically clicks off.

158

4-4. Refueling

Pull up the opener to open
the fuel filler door.

Turn the fuel tank cap slowly
and remove it, then hang it
on the back of the fuel filler
door.

After refueling, turn the fuel tank
cap until you hear a click. Once
the cap is released, it will turn
slightly in the opposite direction.

WARNING

●

Do not top off the fuel tank.

NOTICE

■

Refueling

Do not spill fuel during refueling.

Doing so may damage the vehi-

cle, such as causing the emission

control system to operate abnor-

mally or damaging fuel system

components or the vehicle’s

painted surface.

Closing the fuel tank cap

WARNING

■

When replacing the fuel tank

cap

Do not use anything but a genu-

for your vehicle. Doing so may

cause a fire or other incident

which may result in death or seri-
