Fuel supply and filling your fuel tank
Your vehicle fuel tank has an on-board refuelling vapor recovery
system . This feature helps to prevent fuel vapors from escaping from
the tank and polluting the environment while you refuel your vehicle.
In order to f ill the tank properly while protecting the environment,
please follow this refueling procedure carefully.
& WARNING
Under normal operating conditions, never carry additional fuel
containers in your car. Gas canisters and other containers used to
transport fuel can be dangerous. Such containers, full or empty,
may leak and could cause a fire in a collision. If you must transport
fuel to use for your lawn mower, snow blower, etc., be very careful
and always observe local and state laws regarding the use, trans
portation and storage of such fuel containers. Make certain the
container meets industry standards (ANSI/ASTM F852 -86) .
0 Note
Never drive your vehicle until the fuel tank is completely empty. The
ir regular supply of fue l can cause misfiring. Gasoline could enter the
exhaust system and damage the catalytic converter. •

t he fuel filler flap Fig
. 223 Fuel cap
hooked on the opened
f ue l filler flap
When adding fuel, the ignition and any cellular phones in the
vehicle must be switched
off. When activating the central
locking, the fuel filler flap is automatically unlocked or
locked . Refuel the vehicle with the ignit ion turned
off .
Taking the fuel cap off
-To open the fuel filler flap, press on the left side of the
flap ~ fig. 222 -arrow- .
- Unscrew fuel filler cap counter-clockwise and hang it on
the fuel filler flap~ fig. 223.
- Check the label on the inside of the fuel filler flap to deter
mine if the vehicle must be fueled with gasoline or diesel
fuel.
Refuelling procedure
- Insert the fuel nozzle from the gasoline pump into the
fuel filler neck as far as it will go.
- Select a medium refuelling rate so that the nozzle
switches off automatically when the tank is full.
Putting the fuel cap back on
- After filling your tank, twist the fuel fi ller cap c lockwise as
f ar as it w ill go.
- Close t he fue l fi ller flap.
To avoid fuel spi lling or evapo rating from the f uel tank a lways close
fue l filler cap properly and comp lete ly . An impro perly closed fuel
filler cap may also ca use the MIL lamp~
page 26 to come on (only
vehicle s wi th gaso lin e e ngine).
& WARNING
Improper refueling or handling of fuel can cause fire, explosion
and severe burns .
• Fuel i s highly flammable and can cause severe burns and other
injuries.
• Failure to shut the engine off while refueling and /or to insert
the pump nozzle fully into the fuel filler neck could cause fuel to spray out of filler n eck or to overflow. Fuel spray and ov erflowing
fuel can cause a fire.
• Never use a cellular telephone while refueling. The electromag
netic radiation can cau se sparks that can ignite fuel vapors and
cause a fire.
• Never get back into your vehicle while refueling. If in excep
tional cir cumstan ces you must get ba ck in your v ehicle while refu
eling, make certain that you close the door and touch metal to
discharge static electricity before touching the filler nozzle again .
Static electricity can cause sparks that can ignite fuel vapo rs
released during refueling.
• Never smoke or have an open flame anywhere in o r near your
vehicle when refueling or filling a portable fue l container.
• For your safety , we strongly recommend that you do not travel
with a portable fuel container in your vehicle . The container , full
or empty may leak and could cau se a fire , especially in a crash.

& WARNING (co ntinued )
• If, under exceptional circumstances , you must tran sport a
portable fuel container, please observe the following:
-Never fill a portable fuel container while it is anywhere in or
on the vehicle (for example, in the luggage compartment, or
on the trunk ). Static electricity can build up while filling and
can ignite fuel vapors causing a fire .
- Always place a portable fuel container on the ground before
filling .
- Always keep the filler nozzle completel y inside the portable
container before and during filling.
- If filling a portable container made of metal, the filler nozzle must always be in contact with the container. This will help
prevent static ele ctricity from discharging and cause a fire .
- Ne ver spill fuel inside the vehicle or luggage compartment .
Fuel vapor s are highly flammable.
- Always observe local and state /provincial laws regarding the
use, storage and tran sportation of fuel containers .
-Make certain the fuel container meets industry standards
( ANSI / ASTM F852-86 ).
