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 symbol 
on the right trim panel of the luggage 
compartment.
When handling fuels, comply with 
all of the applicable safety precau-
tions posted at the service station.
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 
completely into 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.
