Fuel supply and filling your fuel tank
ffi For the sake of the environment
As soon as the correctly operated nozzle switches off automatical ly
for the first time, the tank is full. Do not try to add more fuel because
fuel may spill out. In addi t ion, the expansion space in the fuel tank
will be filled - causing the fuel to overflow when it becomes warm
and po llute the environment.
[ i ) Tips
• Running your engine while refuelling may cause vapors to
escape or even cause fuel to spill out of the tank. This would then
shut off the fue l nozzle before the tank is full.
• Do not refuel your vehicle with the ignition turned on. The fuel
gauge may otherwise not indicate the correct fuel level after
refuelling. •
