313 Operation
At the gas station
Take off cap and set it in direction of
arrow2 in the recess on the fuel filler
flap.
To prevent fuel vapors from escaping
into open air, fully insert filler nozzle
unit.
Only fill your tank until the filler nozzle
unit cuts out – do not top up or
overfill.
Replace fuel cap by turning it clockwise
until it audibly engages.
Close fuel filler flap.
Warning!G
Overfilling of the fuel tank may create
pressure in the system which could cause a
gas discharge. This could cause the gas to
spray back out when removing the fuel
pump nozzle, which could cause personal
injury.
iMake sure to close the fuel filler flap before
locking your vehicle as the flap locking pin
prevents closing after you have locked the
vehicle.
iOnly use premium unleaded gasoline with a
minimum Posted Octane Rating of 91 (average
of 96 RON / 86 MON).
Information on gasoline quality can normally be
found on the fuel pump.
For more information on gasoline, see “Premium
unleaded gasoline” (
page 475) or the Factory
Approved Service Products pamphlet.
iLeaving the engine running and the fuel cap
open can cause theú malfunction indicator
lamp (USA only) or the± malfunction indica-
tor lamp (Canada only) to illuminate.
More information can be found in the “Practical
