Safety warnings regarding fuel
handling
WARNING
Fuel is highly ammable and can cause seri-
ous burns and other injuries.
●
When refuelling, turn o the engine and
turn o the ignition for safety reasons.
●
The fuel system of PHEV models is pressur-
ized to prevent petrol vapours from escaping
into the atmosphere.
●
Do not smoke when lling the fuel tank or
a canister. Naked ames are forbidden in the
vicinity due to the risk of explosion.
●
Observe legislation governing the use,
storage and carrying of a spare fuel canister
in the vehicle.
●
For safety reasons we do not recommend
carrying a spare fuel canister in the vehicle.
In an accident the canister could be dam-
aged and could leak.
●
If, in exceptional circumstances, you have
to carry a spare fuel canister, please observe
the following points:
–
Never ll fuel into the spare fuel canister
if it is inside or on top of the vehicle. This
could cause an explosion. Always place the
canister on the ground to ll it.
–
Insert the lling nozzle as far as possible
into the spare fuel canister.
–
If the spare fuel canister is made of
metal, the lling nozzle must be in contact
with the canister during lling. This helps
prevent an electrostatic charge building
up.
–
Never spill fuel in the vehicle or in the
luggage compartment. Fuel vapour is ex-
plosive. Risk of fatal accident!
NOTICE
●
If any fuel is spilt onto the vehicle, it should
be removed immediately. It could otherwise
damage the paintwork.
●
Never run the tank completely dry. The
catalytic converter can be damaged.
●
When lling the fuel tank after having run
it completely dry on a vehicle with a diesel
engine, the ignition must be switched on for
at least 30 seconds before starting the en-
gine. When you then start the engine it may
take longer than normal (up to one minute)
to start ring.
For the sake of the environment
Do not overll the fuel tank, it may cause the
fuel to overow if it becomes warm.
Note
There is no emergency mechanism for the
manual release of the fuel tank ap. If nec-
essary, request assistance from specialised
personnel.
Note
Diesel vehicles are tted with a protective
device that prevents the insertion of the
wrong fuel hose
1)
. It is only possible to refuel
with Diesel nozzles.
●
If the pump nozzle is worn, damaged, or if
it is very small, it is possible that it will not
be able to open the protective device. Before
trying to insert the pump nozzle by turning
it, try a dierent pump or request specialist
help.
●
If you ll the tank from a reserve fuel canis-
ter, the protective device will not open. One
way to resolve this is to pour the fuel in very
slowly.
