WARNING
Automotive fuel is highly flammable and
explosive. Failure to follow these
guidelines may result in SERIOUS INJURY
or DEATH:
• Read and follow all warnings posted at
the gas station.
• Before refueling, note the location of
the Emergency Fuel Shut-Off, if
available, at the gas station.
• Before touching the fuel nozzle, you
should eliminate the potential build-up
of static electricity by touching a metal
part of the vehicle, a safe distance away
from the fuel filler neck, nozzle, or other
gas source, with your bare hand.
• Do not use mobile phones while
refueling. Electric current and/or
electronic interference from cellular
phones can potentially ignite fuel
vapors and cause a fire.
• Do not get back into a vehicle once you
have begun refueling. You can generate
a buildup of static electricity by
touching, rubbing or sliding against any
item or fabric capable of producing
static electricity. Static electricity
discharge can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. If you must re-enter the
