 Refueling Your Vehicle

WARNING:  When refueling always shut the engine off and never allow sparks or open flames near the fuel tank filler valve. Never smoke or use a cell phone while refueling. Fuel vapor is extremely hazardous under certain conditions. Avoid inhaling excess fumes.    WARNING:  Fuel vapor burns violently and a fuel fire can cause severe injuries.    WARNING:  The fuel system may be under pressure. If you hear a hissing sound near the fuel filler inlet, do not refuel until the sound stops. Otherwise, fuel may spray out, which could cause serious personal injury.    WARNING:  Keep children away from the fuel pump. Never let children pump fuel.    WARNING:  Do not pry open the fuel tank filler valve. This could damage the fuel system. Failure to follow this instruction could result in fire, personal injury or death.    WARNING:  Stay outside your vehicle and do not leave the fuel pump unattended when refueling your vehicle.    WARNING:  Do not remove the fuel pump nozzle from its fully inserted position when refueling.    WARNING:  Stop refueling when the fuel pump nozzle automatically shuts off for the first time. Failure to follow this will fill the expansion space in the fuel tank and could lead to fuel overflowing.    WARNING:  Do not overfill the fuel tank. The pressure in an overfilled tank may cause leakage and lead to fuel spray and fire.    WARNING:  Wait at least five seconds before removing the fuel pump nozzle to allow any residual fuel to drain into the fuel tank.
