SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Gasoline vapors are highly
flammable, have a low flash point and
are explosive, especially in confined spaces.
Avoid exposing the gasses to any potential
sources of ignition as the resulting fire and
explosion may cause serious injuries and/or
death.
WARNING: Never fill the vehicle’s fuel
tank while the vehicle is charging or
connected to a charging station. An
accidental spark could cause an explosion
or fire resulting in serious injury or death.
WARNING: Switch off the engine
when refuelling, as it is both a source
of extreme temperatures and electrical
sparks. Failure to do so may cause a fire or
explosion.
WARNING: Switch off any personal
electronic devices such as mobile
phones, or music players. They have the
potential to trigger an explosion or a fire.
WARNING: Do not smoke, use an
open flame or cause sparks while
refuelling. The resulting fire and/or
explosion may cause serious injury or death.
WARNING: Only use containers
specifically designed for carrying fuel
and always remove them from the vehicle to
fill them. Failure to do so may result in
spillage and cause a fire.
WARNING: Do not overfill the fuel
tank. Overfilling may cause spillage
when the vehicle is driven. Spillage may also
occur if the fuel expands in high ambient
temperatures.
FUEL FILLER
The fuel filler is located on the right-
hand side of the vehicle. An arrow on
the fuel gauge points to that side of the
vehicle.
When your vehicle is stationary and
unlocked, press the fuel filler cover release
button located on the driver’s side
dashboard closing panel.
The fuel filler cover will gently spring open.
Twist the fuel filler cap counter clockwise to
release.
A strap secures the fuel filler cap to the
vehicle to prevent loss. A holder is provided
on the flap to store the cap while refuelling.
When replacing the fuel filler cap,
tighten it until it clicks three times.
Failure to do so may cause the indicator
icon on the instrument cluster to illuminate
due to increased evaporative emission
levels.
