Refuelling
WARNING
To help reduce hazards associated
with refuelling, always observe the
following fuel safety instructions:
- Petrol (fuel) is highly flammable and
can be explosive under certain
conditions. When refuelling, turn the
ignition switch to the OFF position.
- Do not smoke.
- Do not use a mobile telephone.
- Make sure the refuelling area is well
ventilated and free from any source of
flame or sparks. This includes any
appliance with a pilot light.
- Pay full attention and remain alert
while refuelling.
- Never fill the tank until the fuel level
rises into the filler neck. Heat from
sunlight or other sources may cause
the fuel to expand and overflow
creating a fire hazard.
- After refuelling always check that
the fuel filler cap is correctly closed.
- Because petrol (fuel) is highly
flammable, any fuel leak or spillage, or
any failure to observe the safety
advice given above will lead to a fire
hazard, which could cause damage to
property, serious injury or death.
Fuel Tank Cap
1. Fuel tank cap
To open the fuel tank cap:
▼ Remove the cap cover or lift up the
cap flap.
▼ Insert the key into the lock and turn
the key anticlockwise.
▼ Rotate the cap anticlockwise and lift
clear of the tank filler neck.
To close and lock the fuel tank cap:
▼ Align the cap to the tank filler neck
and rotate the cap clockwise until
the cap seals against the filler neck.
▼ In the fully closed position, a ratchet
mechanism prevents overtightening
of the cap by allowing the outer part
of the cap to turn independently of
the internal part.
▼ Turn the key clockwise to lock and
withdraw the key.
▼ Replace the cap cover or securely
close the cap flap.
