WARNING

• Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive under certain conditions.

  You could be burned or seriously injured if it is misused or mishandled.

  Always stop the engine and do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks near the vehicle when refueling.

• Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off automatically. Continued refueling may cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel spray and possibly a fire.
• Never pour fuel into the throttle body to attempt to start your vehicle.
• Do not fill a portable fuel container in the vehicle or trailer. Static electricity can cause an explosion of flammable liquid, vapor or gas in any vehicle or trailer. To reduce the risk of serious injury or death when filling portable fuel containers:
  • Always place the container on the ground when filling.
  • Do not use electronic devices when filling.
  • Keep the pump nozzle in contact with the container while you are filling it.
  • Use only approved portable fuel containers for flammable liquid.

CAUTION

• Do not use a fuel containing more than 15% ethanol in your vehicle.
• If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body, flush it away with water to avoid paint damage.

Pull out the nozzle approximately 5 seconds after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off automatically (initial shut-off).

Close the fuel-filler door after refueling.

If you need to refuel from a portable fuel container, use the funnel supplied with your vehicle.

CAUTION

• Do not attempt to open the flaps on the fuel-filler opening using any tool other than the fuel pump nozzle.
• This fuel-filler opening is only conformable to normal fuel pump nozzles at gas stations. Using a nozzle with a small diameter may damage the opening and the fuel system.
• If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body, flush it away with water to avoid paint damage.
