Refuelling the car at a petrol station

P5-1617-S90-capless fuel filler pipe
Fuel filling is performed in the following way.
Switch off the car and open the fuel filler flap.

 Note

After the fuel filler flap has been opened, refuelling must take place within about ten minutes. After this, the valve that was opened by pressing the button is closed, and it is no longer possible to refuel because the pump nozzle cuts out.

If the valve is closed before refuelling is complete - press the button again and wait until the driver display shows the message Fuel tank Ready for refuelling.

Choose fuel that is approved for use in the car in accordance with the identifier1 on the inside of the fuel filler flap. See information on approved fuels and identifier in the section on "Petrol".

Insert the pump nozzle in the fuel filler opening. The filler pipe has two opening caps. The pump nozzle must be pushed past both caps before refuelling is started.
Do not overfill the tank but fill until the pump nozzle cuts out the first time.
The tank is full.

 Note

Overfilled fuel in the tank can overflow in hot weather.

Topping up fuel from a fuel can
