Starting and Driving
Refill the Tank
The fuel filler is sealed by an internal
closing tab, which is opened by the
fuel nozzle of the service station when
refueling.
Only a nozzle of the suitable size can
open the closing tab.
• Insert the fuel nozzle fully into the
filler.
NOTE:
Only with a correct size nozzle you can
refuel.
WARNING!
•
To avoid the risk of fire, do not
approach the filler with open flames
or cigarettes!
•
To avoid the risk of inhaling noxious
fumes, do not breathe close to the
fuel filler door, when opened.
•
Never have any smoking materials
lit in or near the vehicle when the
fuel filler door is open or the tank is
being filled.
•
Never add fuel when the engine is
running. This violates most fire-
prevention regulations and may
cause the Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) to turn on (see
"Warning and Indicator Lights" in
section "Dashboard Instruments and
Controls").
• Fill the vehicle with fuel. Fuel tank
capacity is indicated in the "Refillings
Table" in section “Maintenance and
Care”. When the fuel nozzle “clicks”
or shuts off, the fuel tank is basically
full: it is possible to further ensure
refueling by enabling the fuel nozzle
additional fuel supply until twofold
clicks. After the two additional clicks,
the amount of fuel allowed by the
system is very low, we recommend
therefore not to persist further.
• Wait approximately 10 seconds
before removing the fuel nozzle in
order to ensure completed supply of
residual fuel and restrict the risk of
fouling the fuel filler door area.
• Remove the fuel nozzle.
• Close the fuel filler door.
CAUTION!
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling,
do not "top off" the fuel tank after
filling.
Emergency Refueling Funnel
A funnel is provided in the tool
box container (represented in the
picture a tool kit of a Gasoline model
with compact spare wheel) for
emergency refuelling with a gas can
(see chapter “Tool Kit” in section “In a
Emergency”).
WARNING!
A fire may result if fuel is pumped
into a portable container that is inside
of a vehicle. You could be burned.
Always place gas containers outside
the vehicle while filling.
