WARNING

• Do not get back into a vehicle

once you have begun refuel-

ing. Do not touch, rub or slide

against any item or fabric

(polyester, satin, nylon, etc.)

capable of producing static

electricity. Static electricity

discharge can ignite fuel

vapors resulting in explosion.

If you must re-enter the vehi-

cle, you should once again

eliminate potentially danger-

ous static electricity dis-

charge by touching a metal

part of the vehicle, away from

the fuel filler neck, nozzle or

other gasoline source.

Use only portable fuel con-

tainers designed to carry and

store gasoline.

Automotive fuels are flamma-

ble/explosive materials. When

refueling, please note the fol-

lowing guidelines carefully.

Failure to follow these guide-

lines may result in severe per-

sonal injury, severe burns or

death by fire or explosion.

• Do not use cellular phones

around a gas station or while

refueling any vehicle. Electric

current and/or electronic

interference from cellular

phones can potentially ignite

fuel vapors causing a fire. If

you must use your cellular

phone use it in a place away

from the gas station.

• Before refueling always note

the location of the Emergency

Gasoline Shut-Off, if available,

at the gas station facility.

• Before touching the fuel noz-

zle or fuel filler cap, you

should eliminate potentially

dangerous static electricity

discharge by touching anoth-

er metal part of the front of the

vehicle, a safe distance away

from the fuel filler neck, noz-

zle, or other gas source.

• When refueling always shut

the engine off. Sparks pro-

duced by electrical compo-

nents related to the engine

can ignite fuel vapors causing

a fire. Always insure that the

engine is OFF before and dur-

ing refueling. Once refueling

is complete, check to make

sure the fuel filler cap and

door are securely closed,

before starting the engine.

• When using a portable fuel

container be sure to place the

container on the ground prior

to refueling. Static electricity

discharge from the container

can ignite fuel vapors causing

a fire. Once refueling has

begun, contact with the vehi-

cle should be maintained until

the filling is complete.

• Do not light any fire around a

gas station. DO NOT use

matches or a lighter and DO

NOT SMOKE or leave a lit cig-

arette in your vehicle while at

a gas station especially during

refueling. Automotive fuel is

highly flammable and can,

when ignited, result in explo-

sion by flames.

• Make sure to refuel with gaso-

line only for the gasoline

engine vehicles and diesel

fuel only for the diesel engine

vehicles.

• Check to make sure the fuel

filler cap is securely closed

after refueling.

specified for your vehicle. An

incorrect fuel filler cap can

result in a serious malfunction

of the fuel system or emission

MIRRORS

Outside rearview mirror

WARNING

Be sure to adjust mirror angles

before driving.

• The right outside rearview

mirror is convex. In some

countries, the left outside

rearview mirror is also con-

vex. Objects seen in the mirror

are closer than they appear.

Your vehicle is equipped with both

left-hand and right-hand outside

rearview mirrors. The mirrors can be

adjusted remotely with the control

levers or remote switch, depending

on the type of mirror control installed.

The mirror heads can be folded back

to prevent damage during an auto-

matic car wash or when passing in a

narrow street.

• Use your interior rearview mir-

ror or direct observation to

determine the actual distance

of following vehicles when

changing lanes.

Manual remote control

(if equipped)

To adjust an outside mirror, move the

control lever which is located at the

forward inside area of the window

frame.

CAUTION

Do not scrape ice off the mirror

face; this may damage the sur-

face of the glass. If ice should

restrict movement of the mirror,

do not force the mirror for

adjustment. To remove ice, use

a deicer spray, or a sponge or

soft cloth with very warm water.
