WARNING: Do not smoke, or carry lighted tobacco or have an open flame of any type when working on or near any fuel-related component. Highly
flammable mixtures are always present and may be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Do not carry personal electronic devices such as cell phones, pagers or audio equipment of any type when working on or near any fuel
related component. Highly flammable mixtures are always present and may be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal
injury.
WARNING: Before working on or disconnecting any of the fuel tubes or fuel system components, relieve the fuel system pressure to prevent accidental
spraying of fuel. Fuel in the fuel system remains under pressure, even when the engine is not running. Failure to follow this instruction may result in
serious personal injury.
WARNING: When working on or near the evaporative emission (EVAP) system, disconnect the battery ground cable for the battery. The EVAP system
contains fuel vapor and condensed fuel vapor, so an electrical spark may cause a fire or explosion. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious
personal injury.
