REFUELING

WARNING: Fuel vapor burns violently and a fuel fire can cause
severe injuries. To help avoid injuries to you and others:

• Read and follow all the instructions on the pump island.

• Turn off your engine when you are refueling.

• Do not smoke if you are near fuel or refueling your vehicle.

• Keep sparks, flames and smoking materials away from fuel.

• Stay outside your vehicle and do not leave the fuel pump unattended

when refueling your vehicle - this is against the law in some places.

• Keep children away from the fuel pump; never let children pump fuel.

• Do not use personal electronic devices while refueling.

Use the following guidelines to avoid electrostatic charge build-up when
filling an ungrounded fuel container:
• Place approved fuel container on the ground.

cargo area).

• Keep the fuel pump nozzle in contact with the fuel container while filling.
• DO NOT use a device that would hold the fuel pump handle in the fill
