Refueling
Watch out for fire
When refueling at a self-service gas
station
WARNING
• If you open the fuel filler cap sud-
denly, fuel may be under pressure
and may spray out. Loosen the fuel
filler cap slowly. After air deflating
sound stops, open the fuel filler
cap.
• If fuel spills out, an accident such
as a fire may occur. Also, if you
leave spilled fuel as it is, it may
cause paint staining, discoloration
or cracking. Be careful not to spill
out fuel. If you spill it out, wipe it off
with a soft cloth.
• If the fuel filler cap is not closed
securely, it may cause fuel leakage
or a fire. After refueling, close the
fuel filler cap until you hear more
than 2 clicks.
• If you use the fuel cap other than a
genuine SUZUKI cap, it may cause
fuel leakage. Do not use the fuel
cap other than a genuine SUZUKI
cap.
WARNING
69RHS186
Be sure to observe the following
points when refueling. Otherwise,
gasoline may catch a fire from fuel
and it may cause a fire.
• Always stop the engine first.
• Close all the doors and windows
when refueling.
• As gasoline is highly flammable,
open sparks such as lit cigarettes
are strictly prohibited.
WARNING
When refueling at a self-service gas
station, be sure to observe the follow-
ing points.
• If substantial static electricity is
accumulated within your body, a
spark could ignite fuel vapors and
possibly cause burns. Before open-
ing the fuel filler cap, discharge any
static electricity* that might have
accumulated in your body, by
touching a metal part of the vehicle
body or the gas pump machine. In
addition, do not re-enter the vehicle
while refueling, as static electricity
could be charged to your body
again.
• Do not allow others who have not
discharged their static electricity to
come close to the fuel filler open-
ing.
*Take special care when air is dry,
as this can cause your body to
become charged with static elec-
tricity more easily. In addition,
wearing layers of clothing can
generate static electricity due to
the friction of the fibers.
