A person charged with static electricity could cause a fire or
explosion, resulting in death or serious injury. Before draining fuel,
make sure to discharge static electricity by touching the vehicle
body.

CAUTION:



Because the fuel tank is constructed such that the fuel level is higher
than the installation surface of the fuel pump, fuel leakage could
occur. If the fuel gauge indicates a fuel level of 3/4 or more, perform
the following Steps 3 - 8 to drain 10-15 L {2.7-3.9 US gal, 2.2-3.2 Imp
gal} of fuel.

Disconnecting/connecting the quick release connector without
cleaning it may possibly cause damage to the fuel pipe and quick
release connector. Always clean the quick release connector joint
area before disconnecting/connecting using a cloth or soft brush,
and make sure that it is free of foreign material.
