During refueling, the engine and the ignition must be switched off for safety reasons.
Never use a mobile telephone, CB radio, or other radio equipment while refueling. The electro‐
magnetic radiation can cause sparks that can ignite fuel vapors and cause a fire.
Never get back into your vehicle while refueling. If in exceptional circumstances you must get
back in your vehicle while refueling, make certain that you close the door and touch metal to
discharge static electricity before touching the filler nozzle again. This helps avoid the buildup
of static electricity, which can cause sparks that can ignite fuel vapors released during
refueling.
Always make sure that the fuel filler cap is screwed on all the way. This helps keep fuel from
spilling out or evaporating.
Fuel is highly flammable and explosive; it can cause severe burns and other severe injuries.
Failure to shut the engine off while refueling and/or to insert the pump nozzle all the way into
the fuel filler neck can cause fuel to overflow and to spray out. Fuel spray and overflowing fuel
are dangerous because they can cause fire and serious personal injury.
Never smoke or have an open flame (or sparks, cigarettes, or other smoldering objects) any‐
where in or near your vehicle when refueling or filling a portable fuel container.
Follow all safety instructions and procedures that apply at the service station where you refuel.
Never spill fuel in the vehicle or the luggage compartment.
WARNING
Even if empty, portable fuel containers can leak and cause a fire and serious personal injuries,
especially in a crash.
For your safety, we strongly recommend that you do not travel with a portable fuel container in
your vehicle.
If, under exceptional circumstances, you must transport a portable fuel container, please ob‐
serve the following:
Never fill a portable fuel container while it is anywhere in or on the vehicle (for example,
in the luggage compartment or on top of the trunk lid). Static electricity can build up while
filling and can ignite fuel vapors, causing a fire.
Always place a portable fuel container on the ground before filling. Never spill fuel inside
the vehicle or luggage compartment. Fuel vapors are highly flammable.
