CAUTION
- Refueling the vehicle
Observe the following precautions while refueling the vehicle.

A whooshing sound may be heard when the fuel tank cap is loosened.
Wait until the sound cannot be heard before fully removing the cap.
In hot weather, pressurized fuel may spray out of the filler neck and cause injury.

bodies to come close to an open fuel tank.

charged.
This may cause static electricity to build up, resulting in a possible ignition
hazard.
