• Be careful not to allow the fuel to contact the painted
surface of the body as it can damage the paint work
• If the fuel lid is frozen shut in the winter, do not attempt to
apply any excessive force on the fuel lid. Lightly tap on the
edge of the door to open it
• Use only genuine parts when replacing the fuel lid
• To fill the tank completely, top up until the pump nozzle of the
fuel supply gun stops working
• Do not “top off” the fuel tank after filling to avoid fuel spillage
and overflowing due to thermal expansion
• Always pay attention when opening the fuel lid, as the fuel
may be pressurised. If you hear a hissing sound with fuel
leaks, wait until no sound is heard
• Discharge any static electricity by touching any metal part
which is at a safe distance away from the fuel filler with your
bare hands before grabbing a fuel supply gun or touching
fuel lid
• Getting in and out of the vehicle during fuelling can cause fire
due to charged static electricity. Do not get in or out of the
vehicle during fuelling
• When fuelling using a portable tank, make sure that the
fuelling is carried out outdoors and the tank is on the ground
during fueling. Fuelling with the portable tank placed on the
vehicle or fuelling indoors can cause fire due to static
electricity
• Always stop the engine when refueling. Use only the
designated fuel and low sulphur diesel
• Always turn off the engine, do not use a lighter, and never
have any smoking materials lit during fuelling for fire
protection
• If you add inappropriate grade fuel, fuel blended with water
or improper fuel additives to the fuel tank, the fuel system
and exhaust gas system may be seriously damaged
• Always check the fuel to be used before filling the fuel tank. If
a diesel-engine vehicle is misfueled with gasoline, the fuel
system and other vehicle systems can be seriously damaged
• Never use a cellular phone near a gas station. The
electromagnetic field emitted from the cellular phone can
cause fire
