200 Maintenance
• Fuels can also be harmful if absorbed through the skin. If
fuel is splashed on the skin and/or clothing, promptly
remove contaminated clothing and wash skin thoroughly
with soap and water. Repeated or prolonged skin contact
with fuel liquid or vapor causes skin irritation.
• Be particularly careful if you are taking “Antabuse” or
other forms of disulfiram for the treatment of alcoholism.
Breathing gasoline and/or ethanol vapors, or skin contact
could cause an adverse reaction. In sensitive individuals,
serious personal injury or sickness may result. If fuel is
splashed on the skin, promptly wash skin thoroughly with
soap and water. Consult a physician immediately if you
experience an adverse reaction.
Your vehicle does not contain flexible fuel components and
should only use standard unleaded gasoline fuels.
When refueling, always shut the engine off and never allow
sparks or open flames near the filler neck. Never smoke
while refueling.
REASON: Fuel vapor is extremely hazardous under
certain conditions. Care should be taken to avoid inhaling
excess fumes.
Do not pump fuel into an ungrounded fuel container.
REASON: The flow of fuel through a fuel pump nozzle
can produce static electricity, which can cause a fire.
Refueling
Fuel vapor burns violently and a fuel fire can cause severe
injuries. To help avoid injuries to you and others:
•Read and follow all the instructions on the pump island.
•Turn off your engine when you are refueling.
•Do not smoke if you are near fuel or refueling your vehicle.
•Keep sparks, flames and smoking materials away from fuel.
•Stay outside your vehicle and do not leave the fuel pump
unattended when refueling your vehicle - this is against the
law in some locations.
•Keep children away from the fuel pump; never let children
pump fuel.
•Do not use personal electronic devices while refueling.
Use the following guidelines to avoid electrostatic charge
build-up when filling un ungrounded fuel container:
•Place approved fuel container on the ground.
•DO NOT fill a fuel container while it is in the vehicle
(including the cargo area).
•Keep the fuel pump nozzle in contact with the fuel container while
fueling.
•DO NOT use a device that would hold the fuel pump handle
in the fill position.
