How to Use a Self-Service Gas Station in Iiyama

Confirm the vehicle's required fuel before touching the pump. Stop the engine, follow the terminal, touch the anti-static pad and ask staff rather than guessing when anything is unclear.

Confirm the vehicle fuel first

Check the rental agreement, fuel-door label or vehicle instructions. Do not choose by vehicle size: a Japanese kei car normally uses regular petrol, not diesel.

Follow the station safety sequence

Park correctly, stop the engine, prohibit smoking and touch the anti-static pad before opening the cap and handling the nozzle. Follow the terminal and do not leave the nozzle unattended.

Payment and language options vary

International cards may not work at every terminal. Carry another payment method. If the machine is unclear or a receipt is required for rental return, ask staff before fuelling.
