270 Maintenance and Car Care
Refueling
f Total capacity approx. 26.4 gallons
(100 liters), including approx. 3 gallons
(12 liters) reserve
Danger!
The RF energy from a cellphone can cause a
sparking on bare metal, much like aluminum
foil in a microwave oven. The spark could
ignite gasoline fumes present while refuling.
Static discharge from your body can ignite
gasoline fumes present when you get back
out of the vehicle and touch the fuel nozzle.
In either case, resulting fire can cause
serious damage to the vehicle, serious injury
or death to persons in immediate vicinity.
f Do not use a cellphone while pumping gas.
f Do not re-enter the vehicle while pumping gas.
1. Stop the engine and switch off the ignition.
2. Slowly unscrew the tank cap.
Hang the tank cap’s plastic strap on the
hook A on the inside wall of the filler flap.
3. Insert pump nozzle fully into the filler neck with
the handle of the pump nozzle facing down.
4. Do not add further fuel once the correctly
operated automatic pump nozzle has switched
off.
Fuel could spray or could run over when
heated.
5. Replace the tank cap immediately after
refueling and turn it until you hear it and feel it
engage.
Maintenance Note
If you lose the tank filler cap, you must replace it
only with an original part.
Portable Fuel Containers
Danger!
Portable fuel containers, full or partially
empty, may leak causing an explosion, or
result in fire in case of an accident.
f Never carry additional fuel in portable contai-
ners in your vehicle.
