Use of Additives
With the exception of gas line antifreeze during winter months, do not add solvents, thickeners, or other store-bought
additives to your car's fuel, cooling, or lubricating systems. Overuse may damage your engine, and some of these
additives contain organically volatile chemicals. Do not needlessly expose yourself to these chemicals.

WARNING!

Never carry a cell phone that is switched on while refueling your vehicle. If the phone rings, this may cause a spark
that could ignite gasoline fumes, resulting in fire and injury.

expansion of the fuel in hot weather. with sufficient volume left over to accommodate possible expansion of the fuel in
hot weather. Be aware that the "usable" tank capacity will be somewhat less than the specified maximum. When the
fuel level is low, such factors as ambient temperature, the fuel's "Reid vapor pressure" characteristics, and terrain can
affect the fuel pump's ability to supply the engine with an adequate supply of fuel. Therefore, it is advisable to refuel
as soon as possible when the needle nears the red zone, or when the fuel warning light comes on.

CAUTION:
Do not refuel with the engine running *. Turn the ignition off or to position I. If the ignition is on, an incorrect reading
