Refueling
Switch off the engine before refueling; 
otherwise, no fuel can be dispensed into 
the tank and a message is displayed.<
When handling fuel, take all applicable 
precautionary measures and follow all 
applicable regulations. Never transport reserve 
fuel containers in the vehicle. These can leak 
and cause an explosion or a fire in an accident.<
Fuel filler door
To open and close: briefly press the rear edge of 
the fuel filler door.
Manual release
In the event of a malfunction, you can release 
the fuel filler door manually:
1.Lift the handle to remove the cover panel on 
the right side of the luggage compartment.
2.Take the knob with the fuel pump symbol 
from the bracket and pull it to unlock the 
fuel filler door.
Simple and environmentally friendly
When handling fuels, always follow any 
safety guidelines posted at the gas sta-
tion.<
Put the filler cap in the bracket attached to the 
fuel filler door.
When refueling, insert the filler nozzle com-
pletely into the filler pipe. Avoid raising the filler 
nozzle during refueling; otherwise, this
>results in premature pump shutoff
>can lead to reduced efficiency in the fuel-
vapor recovery system
The fuel tank is full when the filler nozzle clicks 
off the first time.
Fuel tank capacity
Approx. 23.2 US gal/88 liters, including a 
reserve of:
>750i/Li: approx. 2.6 US gal/10 liters.
>760i/Li: approx. 3.1 US gal/12 liters.
Refuel as soon as possible once your 
cruising range falls below 30 miles/
50 km; otherwise, engine functions are not 
assured and damage can occur.<

Fit the cap and turn it clockwise until you clearly 
hear a click.
Do not crush the cap leash between the 
fuel filler cap and the vehicle. A message
