Refueling
Only one person should be involved in refueling. Do not allow others to approach the area of the vehicle near the fuel filler pipe while refueling is in progress.
Be sure to observe any other precautions that are posted at the service station.
1. Stop the vehicle and turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK"/"OFF" position and turn off all the other electrical components.
2. To open the fuel filler lid, pull the lid release lever up. The lever is on the floor at the left of the driver's seat.
WARNING
Before opening the fuel filler cap, first touch the vehicle body or a metal portion of the fuel pump or similar object to discharge any static electricity that may be present on your body. If your body is carrying an electrostatic charge, there is a possibility that an electric spark could ignite the fuel, which could burn you. To avoid acquiring a new static electric charge, do not get back into the vehicle while refueling is in progress.
3. Remove the fuel filler cap by turning it slowly counterclockwise.
WARNING
Before refueling, always turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK"/"OFF" position first and then close all vehicle doors and windows. Make sure that there are no lighted cigarettes, open flames or electrical sparks in the adjacent area. Only handle fuel outdoors. Quickly wipe up any spilled fuel.
4. Set the fuel filler cap on the cap holder inside the fuel filler lid.
WARNING
5. Stop filling the tank after the fuel filler pump automatically stops. Do not add any more fuel.
6. Put the cap back on, turn it clockwise until you hear a clicking noise. Be certain not to catch the tether under the cap while tightening.
CAUTION
Make sure that the cap is tightened until it clicks to prevent fuel spillage in the event of an accident.
7. Close the fuel filler lid completely.
CAUTION
If you spill any fuel on the painted surface, rinse it off immediately.
Otherwise, the painted surface could be damaged.
NOTE
CAUTION
Continuing to operate your vehicle at an extremely low fuel level may result in a reduction of engine performance.
