Starting and Driving
•
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
"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 kit 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.
Emergency Fuel Filler Door
Release
If you are unable to unlock the fuel
filler door using the key fob, use the
fuel filler door emergency release
fitted in the engine compartment.
• Open the rear hood (see "Access the
Engine Compartment" in section
"Before Driving).
• Pull the cord indicated to unlock the
actuator of the fuel filler door.
• Then open normally the fuel filler
door pressing on it.
