Fuel filling
To unlock the fuel cap;
1. Insert the key and turn it 90° clockwise.
2. Turn the key back to the vertical and then
remove.
The cap should then be unscrewed gradually
(see Warning below).
WARNING
To avoid any sudden discharge of fuel
caused by excessive air pressure, the cap is
designed to allow the fuel tank to vent
during the first half turn. DO NOT fully
remove the cap until pressure has been
released.
Filling station pumps are equipped with
automatic cut-off sensing to avoid fuel
spillage - only fill the tank until the filler nozzle
automatically shuts off. DO NOT attempt to fill
the tank beyond this point or spillage could
result due to expansion of the fuel.
WARNING
DO NOT fully fill the tank if the vehicle is to
be parked on a slope in direct sunlight or
high ambient temperature - expansion of the
fuel could cause spillage.
When replacing the fuel cap, turn it clockwise
until the cap clicks at least three times - this
locks the cap (the key is not needed).
SAFETY ON THE FORECOURT
Petroleum gases are highly inflammable
and in confined spaces are also explosive.
Always take sensible precautions when
refuelling:
• Switch off the engine.
• Do not smoke or use a naked flame
or light.
• Take care not to spill fuel.
• Do not overfill the tank.
