Refueling Fuel filler door
Before filling the tank, shut off the
engine. If you do not, fuel cannot
flow into the tank and the Service
Engine Soon lamp may come on.<
Press on the lower part of the button
to open (fuel pump symbol).
To unlock the fuel filler door if the
central locking system malfunctions,
refer to page 140.
Always observe all applicable
safety rules and precautions when
handling gasoline.
Never carry spare fuel containers in your
vehicle. Whether empty or full, these
containers can leak, cause an explosion,
or lead to fire in the event of a collision.<

friendly
When removing, twist the fuel filler
cap slowly to avoid the possibility
of fuel spray, which could cause injury.
Never continue refueling after the auto-
matic pump nozzle clicks off, or until
fuel starts to emerge from the filler pipe,
as gasoline spills could result.<
Store the cap in the holder provided on
the inside of the fuel filler door while
refueling.

When refueling, insert the filler nozzle
completely into the filler pipe. Pulling
the nozzle out of the pipe during
refueling
>results in premature pump shutoff
>and will reduce the effect of the vapor
recovery system on the pump.
If the filler nozzle is used correctly, the
fuel tank is full when it shuts off for the
first time.
Tank capacity, refer to page 157.
After refueling screw cap back on,
continuing until you hear a "click"
indicating that it is securely fastened.
While closing, be sure not to squeeze
the strap which is fastened to the cap.
A loose or missing cap will activate the
Service Engine Soon lamp.<

Never allow engine speed to climb until
the needle enters the tachometer's red
sector.

management system automatically
interrupts the fuel supply in this range,
producing the sensation of a sudden
loss of power.520de029
When you switch on the ignition, the
indicator lamp lights up briefly to
confirm that the system is operational.
Once the indicator lamp comes on and
stays on, there are approx. 2.5 gallons
(10 liters) of fuel left in the fuel tank.
For fuel tank capacity, refer to
page 157.
Certain operating conditions (such
as those encountered in mountainous
areas) may cause the needle to fluc-
tuate slightly.
Please refuel early, since driving
to the last drop of fuel can result
in damage to the engine or catalytic
converter.<520us005
