Refueling

Always switch off the engine before refu-
eling; otherwise, fuel cannot be added to

the tank and a message will be displayed.

Take all precautionary measures and
observe all applicable regulations when

handling fuel. Do not carry any spare fuel con-
tainers in your vehicle. They can develop a leak
and cause an explosion or cause a fire in the
event of an accident.

Fuel filler flap

Opening

Open fuel filler flap. To do so, lightly press
the rear edge.

Turn the gas cap counterclockwise.

Place the gas cap in the bracket attached to
the fuel filler flap.

Closing

Fit the cap and turn it clockwise until you clearly
hear a click.

Do not pinch the band attached to the
cap; otherwise, the cap cannot be closed

properly and fuel vapors can escape. A mes-
sage will be displayed if the gas cap is loose or
missing.

Manually releasing the fuel filler flap

In the event of a malfunction, you can release
the fuel filler flap manually:

Pull the button in the cargo area with the fuel
pump symbol down. The fuel filler flap is
released.

Observe the following when refueling

When handling fuels, follow the safety
instructions provided at filling stations;

otherwise, there is a risk of personal injury or
property damage.

When refueling, insert the filler nozzle com-
pletely into the filler pipe. Avoid lifting the filler
nozzle while filling the tank, as that would
lead to:

premature pump shutoff

reduced efficiency of the fuel-vapor recov-
ery system.

The fuel tank is full when the filler nozzle clicks
off the first time.

Fuel tank capacity

Approx. 15.5 US gallons/55 liters, including the
reserve capacity of 2.1 US gallons/8 liters.

Refuel as soon as possible once your
cruising range falls below 30 miles/

50 km; otherwise, engine functions are not
ensured and damage can occur.
