Refueling

Fuel filler door

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.

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

Manual release

In the event of an electrical defect in the
system, you can release the fuel filler door
manually:

In the luggage compartment, raise the
floor mat and the cover located beneath
it

Open the snap fasteners of the right
side panel and take off the side panel

Pull the knob with the gas pump sym-
bol.

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, or
lead to fire in the event of a collision.

Simple and environmentally friendly

When handling fuels always observe
any safety guidelines posted at the

service station.

Put the 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.

Closing the fuel filler cap:
Fit the cap and turn it clockwise until you
clearly hear a click.

Close the fuel filler cap carefully after
refueling, 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.

Fuel tank capacity: approx. 18.5 gallons/
70 liters, of which approx. 2.1 gallons/
8 liters reserve.

Never attempt to continue driving
until the tank is completely empty, as

engine functions could be affected, and the
vehicle could sustain damage as a result.
