■ 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 an
y static
elec
tricity. 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
lo
osened. Wait until the sound
cannot be heard before fully

fro
m their body to come close
to

● Do not smoke while refueling
the vehicle.
Doing so may cause the f

● Do not return to the vehicle or
touch any person or object that
is statically charged.
Th

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 nec
