Filling up with fuel
Important things to consider when refuelling.
Opening/closing the fuel cap
A certain overpressure may arise in the tank in the event of high outside temperatures. Open the cap slowly.
- After refuelling - refit the cap and turn it until one or more clicking sounds are heard.
Note
If the fuel cap is not properly closed or if the engine is running during refuelling then the symbol for a fault in the exhaust system is illuminated. However, this does not affect the performance of the car. Filling up with fuel
- Do not overfill the tank but fill until the pump nozzle cuts out.
Note
Excess fuel in the tank can overflow in hot weather.
Filling with a fuel can1
When filling with a fuel can, use the funnel located under the floor hatch in the cargo area.
Make sure you insert the funnel's pipe firmly into the filler pipe. The filler pipe has an openable cover and the funnel's pipe must be slid past the cover before filling can begin.
