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 will
appear in the Check Control.

To open and close: briefly 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:

Lift the handle to remove the cover
panel on the right side of the luggage
compartment

Take the button with the fuel pump
symbol from the bracket and pull it to
unlock the fuel filler door.

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.

Simple and environmentally friendly

When handling fuels always observe
any safety guidelines posted at the

filling 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.

Close the filler cap carefully after refu-
eling, continuing until you hear the

detent engage. While closing, be sure not
to squeeze the strap which is fastened to
the cap. A loose or missing cap will activate
a message in the Check Control.

Fuel tank capacity: approx. 23.2 gallons/
88 liters, including the reserve capacity of
approx. 2.6 gallons/10 liters.

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.
