Refueling

eling, otherwise, fuel cannot be added to

<
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.

safety guidelines posted at the service 
station.

When refueling, insert the filler nozzle com-
pletely into the filler pipe. Lifting the filler nozzle

a reduced efficiency of the fuel-vapor 
recovery system.

off the first time.

cruising range falls below 30 miles/
50 km, otherwise engine functions are not 
ensured and damage can occur.
<
Fuel specifications
Do not fill the tank with leaded fuel, as this 
would cause permanent damage to the 
catalytic converter.
