Refueling
Always observe all safety notices
posted at the service station when
refueling. Never carry spare fuel con-
tainers in your vehicle. Whether empty
or full, these containers can leak, cause
an explosion, or lead to fire in the event
of a collision.<
Simple and environmentally
friendly
Open the fuel filler cap carefully to
prevent fuel from spraying out. Fuel
spray may cause injury. Do not attempt
to continue adding fuel to the last drop,
as this practice can cause fuel to spill.<
Keep the fuel filler cap in the bracket
attached to the fuel filler door.
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.
As long as the filler nozzle is used prop-
erly, the fuel tank is full whenever the
nozzle shuts off the first time.

Close the fuel filler cap carefully
after refueling until a click is
heard. While closing, be sure not to
squeeze the strap which is fastened to
the cap. A loose or missing cap will
activate the message "CHECK FILLER
CAP" in the Check Control.<
