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

clicks off the first time.

clearly hear a click – bayonet fitting.

Close the filler cap carefully after refu-
eling, until a click is heard. While clos-

ing, be sure not to squeeze the strap which
is fastened to the cap. A loose or missing
