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.
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.

locked using the central locking remote con-
trol ›››page102.

●
Start refuelling. The tank is full as soon as
the pump’s automatic nozzle cuts o the fuel
supply. Do not try to put in more fuel after the
nozzle cuts out, as this will ll the expansion
chamber in the fuel tank.
