Emission Control System
Use the following guidelines to avoid
static build-up when filling an un-
grounded fuel container:
S Place
approved fuel container on
the
ground.
S DO
NOT fill a fuel container while it
is in the vehicle.
S Keep
the fuel pump nozzle in contact
with the fuel container while filling.
S DO NOT use a device that would
hold the fuel pump handle in the fill
position.
Your vehicle is equipped with an emis-
sion control system (the catalytic con-
verter
is part of this
system) that enables
your vehicle to comply with the U.S.
exhaust emissions requirements.
Under U.S. federal law, any modifica-
tion to the original-equipment emission
control system before the first sale and
registration of a vehicle is subject to
penalties. In some states, such modifi-
cation made on a used vehicle is also
subject to penalties.
