FUEL FILLER LID
WARNING - Refueling
• If pressurized fuel sprays out, it
can cover your clothes or skin
and thus subject you to the risk of
fire and burns.
Always remove
the fuel cap carefully and slowly.
If the cap is venting fuel or if you
hear a hissing sound, wait until
the condition stops before com-
pletely removing the cap.
• Because your vehicle uses an
ORVR (On-board Refuelling Vapor
Recovery) system, “Top OFF” the
vehicle very carefully to prevent
fuel splash-back.
