WARNING: When refueling always shut the engine off and
never allow sparks or open flames near the filler neck. Never
smoke while refueling. Fuel vapor is extremely hazardous under
certain conditions. Care should be taken to avoid inhaling
excess fumes.

WARNING: The flow of fuel through a fuel pump nozzle can
produce static electricity, which can cause a fire if fuel is
pumped into an ungrounded fuel container. Be very careful to
put the container on the ground before adding fuel to it.

Use the following guidelines to avoid static build-up when filling an
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
filling.

DO NOT use a device that would hold the fuel pump handle in the fill
position.

Choosing the right fuel

Use only UNLEADED FUEL. The use of leaded fuel is
prohibited by law and could damage your vehicle.

Do not use fuel containing methanol. It can damage critical fuel
system components.

Your vehicle was not designed to use fuel or fuel additives with
metallic compounds, including manganese-based additives.

Repairs to correct the effects of using a fuel for which your
vehicle was not designed may not be covered by your warranty.

Octane recommendations

Your vehicle is designed to use
“Regular” unleaded gasoline with
pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87.
We do not recommend the use of
gasolines labeled as “Regular” that
are sold with octane ratings of 86 or lower in high altitude areas.
