Refueling

Fuel filler door

Always switch off the engine
before refueling, as it is not possi-

ble to add fuel with the engine running,
and attempts may also trigger the
SERVICE ENGINE SOON lamp.

Press on the rear edge of the fuel filler
door to open and close it.

If an electrical malfunction occurs, you
can unlock the fuel filler door manually:

Pull the knob with the fuel pump sym-
bol, located on the right side wall of the
luggage compartment.

Always observe all safety precau-
tions posted at the service station

when handling fuel.
Never carry spare fuel containers in
your vehicle. Whether empty or full,
these containers can leak, cause an
explosion, or lead to fire in the event of
a collision.

Simple and environmentally
friendly

Open the gas cap carefully to pre-
vent fuel from spraying out. Fuel

spray may cause injury.

Keep the gas cap in the bracket
attached to the fuel filler door.

When refueling, insert the filler nozzle in
the filler pipe. Lifting the nozzle during
refueling
> results in premature pump shutoff

> and will reduce the effect of the vapor

recovery system on the pump.

The fuel tank is full when the filler noz-
zle shuts off the first time.
