Refueling

Always switch off the engine before
refueling. If you do not, fuel cannot be

filled into the tank and a message on the
Control Display will appear.

Always observe all applicable precau-
tions and regulations when handling

fuels. Never carry spare fuel containers in
your vehicle. Whether empty or full, these
containers can leak, cause an explosion,
and lead to fire in the event of a collision.

Fuel filler door

To open and close: briefly press the rear
edge of the fuel filler door.

Manual release

In the event of an electrical malfunction in
the system, you can release the fuel filler
door manually:
In the luggage compartment, pull the knob
with the gas pump symbol on the right side
panel.

Observe following when refueling

When handling fuels always observe
any safety guidelines posted at the

filling station.

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

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

results in premature pump shutoff

can lead to reduced efficiency in the
fuel-vapor recovery system.

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

Fuel tank capacity

Approx. 18.5 US gallons/70 liters, including
the reserve capacity of approx. 2.1 gallons/
8 liters.

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

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

Closing fuel filler cap

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

Close the fuel filler cap carefully after
refueling, continuing until a click is

heard. While closing, be sure not to
squeeze the strap which is fastened to the
cap. A loose or missing cap will activate the
message Check Gas Cap

on the Control

Display.
