Refueling

Fuel filler door

Before filling the tank, switch off
the engine. If you do not, fuel

cannot be filled into the tank and the
"Service Engine Soon" lamp may come
on.

To open the fuel filler door, press on the
front edge.

In the event of an electrical malfunction,
you can also open the fuel filler door
manually:

1. Open the cover on the right in the

cargo area: lift the handle on the
cover

2. Pull the knob with the fuel pump

symbol.

When handling fuels, comply with
all of the applicable safety precau-

tions and regulations pertaining to
fuels. 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 filler cap carefully to
prevent fuel from spraying out.

Fuel spray may cause injury.
Do not top off. Topping off may cause
fuel spillage.

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

When refueling, insert the filler nozzle
completely into the filler pipe. Pulling
the nozzle out of the pipe during refu-
eling

results in premature pump shutoff

and will reduce the effect of the vapor
recovery system on the pump.
