eling, otherwise, fuel cannot be added to
the tank and a messag e will be displayed.<
Take all precautionary measures and
observe all applicable regulations when
handling fuel. Do not carry any spare fuel con-
tainers in your vehicle. They can develop a leak
and cause an explosion or cause a fire in the
event of an accident. <

the rear edge.

3. Place the gas cap in th e bracket attached to
the fuel filler door.

hear a click.
Do not pinch the band attached to the
cap, otherwise the cap cannot be closed

sage will be displayed if the gas cap is loose or
missing. <

the fuel filler door manually:

instructions provided at filling stations,
otherwise there is a risk of personal injury or
property damage. <
When refueling, insert the filler nozzle com-
pletely into the filler pipe. Avoid lifting the filler
nozzle while filling the tank, as that would
lead to
> premature pump shutoff
> reduced efficiency of the fuel-vapor recov-
ery system.
The fuel tank is full when the filler nozzle clicks
off the first time.
