Checking and refilling levels
Refuelling
The fuel tank cap opens automatically with the central
locking. The tank holds approximately 55 litres.
Unscrewing the tank cap
–Lift the lid.
– Unscrew the cap, turning it anti-clockwise.
Closing the tank cap
– Screw the tank cap to the right, until the point of feeling a “click”.
– Close the drawer. Make sure you hear it click into place. The tank
cap is secured with an anti-loss attachment.
The tank flap is at the rear of the vehicle on the right.
If the automatic filler nozzle is operated correctly, it will switch itself off as
soon as the tank is “full”. Never attempt to fill beyond this point, as this will
fill the expansion chamber. Fuel may leak out if ambient conditions are warm.
The correct fuel grade for your vehicle is given on a sticker on the inside of the
tank flap. Further notes on fuel can be found.
Releasing the fuel tank flap by hand
In case of a fault in the central locking system, the petrol tank cover may be
opened manually in the following way:
• Open the boot
• Open the flap in the right side trim in the luggage compartment
• Insert a hand and pull back on the locking mechanism
• Open the cover and remove the cap
WARNING
• Fuel is highly inflammable and can cause serious burns and other inju-
ries.
− Never smoke or use any naked flame when filling the fuel tank of the
vehicle, or a spare fuel canister, with fuel. This is an explosion hazard.
− Follow legal requirements for the use of spare fuel canisters.
− For safety reasons we do not recommend carrying a spare fuel
canister in the vehicle. The canister could be damaged in an accident
and leak.
• If, in exceptional circumstances, you have to carry a spare fuel canister,
please observe the following points:
