Fuel and refuelling
155
To close the filler flap, push the flap until 
latched closed.
Note:  The filler flap will only be locked closed 
when the vehicle is centrally locked.
FUEL FILLER
When refuelling ensure that all 
windows, doors, and sunroof are fully 
closed, particularly if young children 
or animals are in the vehicle.
Do not attempt to fill the tank to its 
maximum capacity. If the vehicle is to 
be parked on a slope, in direct 
sunlight or high am bient temperature, 
expansion of the fuel could cause 
spillage. 
Check the fuel pump information 
carefully, to ensure that you are putting 
the correct fuel into the vehicle.
If the vehicle is filled with incorrect fuel, 
it is essential that  you seek qualified 
assistance before you start the engine.
Fuel station pumps  are equipped with 
automatic cut-off sensing, to avoid fuel 
spillage. Fill the tank until the filler nozzle 
automatically cuts off the supply. Do not 
attempt to fill the tank beyond this point.
Note:  Filling station pumps  used for diesel 
commercial vehicles deliver fuel at a higher 
rate than normal. The hi gher fill rate can cause 
premature cut-off and ma y cause fuel spillage. 
Therefore, it is recommended that only 
standard light vehicle pumps are used.
DIESEL MISFUELLING PROTECTION 
DEVICE
When the misfuelling device is 
activated it may cause fuel to be 
discharged from the filler neck.
If the narrow filler nozzl e fitted to pumps 
delivering unleaded petrol  is fully inserted into 
the filler neck the misfue l protection device will 
activate.
Note:  The spout on some fuel cans and older 
fuel pumps may trigger  the misfuelling device.
When activated, the ye llow protection device 
will be visible inside the filler neck. It will 
prevent fuel flow into the tank. Before fuelling 
can continue with the correct fuel the device 
will need to be reset.
The reset tool is stored in the luggage 
compartment clipped onto the battery retaining 
bar.

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
Diesel vehicles equipped with a particle filter 
have more efficient emission control. The 
particles in the exhaust gases are collected in 
the filter during normal driving. 
When a DPF message is displayed, the filter 
requires a regeneration cy cle to clean itself. 
This requires the engine to have reached 
normal operating temp erature. Regeneration 
takes place automatically at an interval of 
approximately 300-900 km (190-560 miles) 
depending on driving c onditions. Regeneration 
normally takes 10-20 minutes and is 
automatically requested by the engine control 
module if the vehicle is  driven steadily at 
vehicle speeds between 40mph to 70mph. It is 
possible that the rege neration process will 
occur at lower vehicle speeds, but the events 
may take a little  longer at a 50 km/h (30mph) 
average speed. 
DRIVING SHORT DISTANCES OR IN 
COLD WEATHER
If the vehicle is fre quently driven short 
distances or in cold weather conditions then 
the engine may not re ach normal operating 
temperature. This means  that regeneration of 
the diesel particle filter does not take place and 
the filter is not efficiently cleaned. When the 
filter reaches a condition when a filter 
regeneration is approp riate and the current 
drive style is not appropriate, a warning 
triangle on the instrument  panel illuminates, 
and the message  DPF Full. See manual  is 
displayed on the instrument panel. This is not 
indicating a fault conditi on with the vehicle and 
no dealership support should be required. Start 
regeneration of the filter by driving the vehicle, 
preferably on a main road or motorway. The 
vehicle should then be driven for approximately 
20 minutes or more.  When regeneration is complete the warning 
text is cleared automatically.
Note: 
A small increase in fuel consumption 
may be noticed temporarily during 
regeneration.
ARDUOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS
When a vehicle is operated in severe or 
arduous conditions, more frequent attention 
must be paid to servic ing requirements. Refer 
to your Service Portfolio for details or contact 
your Dealer/Authorised Repairer for advice.
SAFETY IN THE GARAGE
If the vehicle has been driven 
recently, do not touch exhaust and 
cooling system co mponents until the 
engine has cooled.
Never leave the engine running in an 
unventilated area.
Do not work beneath the vehicle with a 
jack as the only means of support.
Keep your hands and clothing away 
from drive belts, pulleys and fans. 
Some fans may continue to operate 
after the engine has stopped.
Remove metal wrist bands and 
jewellery, before working in the 
engine compartment.
Do not touch electrical leads or 
components while the engine is 
running, or with the starter switch 
turned on.
Do not allow tools or metal parts of the 
vehicle to make contact with the 
battery leads or terminals.

side of the luggage compartment.
FIRE EXTINGUISHER
If supplied, the fire exti nguisher will be located 
either in the luggage  compartment, or mounted 
to the front passenger seat.
REPAIRING MINOR PAINT DAMAGE
Regularly inspect the paintwork for damage. 
Any stone chips, fractures, or deep scratches, 
in the paint/bodywork  should be repaired 
promptly. Bare metal wi ll corrode quickly, and 
if left untreated can resu lt in expensive repairs.
CLEANING THE ALLOY WHEELS
Only use approved wheel cleaning 
products.
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
Some high pressure cleaning systems 
are sufficiently powerful to penetrate 
door and window seals, and damage 
trim and door locks. Never aim the 
water jet directly at the engine air intake, 
heater air intakes, body seals or at any 
components which  may be damaged.
Never use cleaning products which are 
not approved for  use on vehicles.
Following cleaning of the vehicle 
exterior (particularly with a pressure 
washer), it is recommended that the 
vehicle is taken for a short drive in order 
to dry out the brakes.

BATTERY CARE
If battery electrolyte comes into 
contact with your eyes, skin, or 
clothes you should remove the 
affected clothing and flush the 
skin/eyes with copious amounts of 
water. Seek medical assistance 
immediately.
If swallowed, battery electrolyte can 
be fatal, seek medical assistance 
immediately.
Do not connect any 12 volt equipment 
directly to the bat tery terminals. 
Doing so may cause a spark, which 
can result in an explosion. The cell plugs and vent pipe must be 
in place at all tim
es when the battery 
is connected to t he vehicle. Ensure 
that the vent pipe is clear of 
obstructions and not  kinked. Failure to 
do so may cause a pressure build up in 
the battery, resulting in an explosion.
Do not expose the battery to a naked 
flame or spark as the battery produces 
explosive, flammable gas.
Never jump start (boost), charge, or 
try to start a vehicle with a frozen 
battery. Doing so can result in an 
explosion.
Remove all metal jewellery before 
working on, or near, the battery, and 
never allow metal tools or vehicle 
components to come into contact with 
the battery terminals.
Do not allow the battery posts or 
terminals to come into contact with 
your skin. They contain lead and lead 
compounds, which are toxic. Always 
wash your hands thoroughly after 
handling the battery.
Do not allow battery electrolyte to come 
into contact with fabrics or painted 
surfaces. If battery electrolyte comes 
into contact with any surface, the 
surface should be washed down 
immediately with copious amounts of 
clean water.
Vehicles may be fitted with either a single low 
maintenance battery or  dual maintenance free 
batteries. Both types are located under the floor 
of the luggage compartment.
If the vehicle is fitted with a single battery, in 
hot climates more fre quent checks of the 
battery electrolyte level and condition are 
required. If necessary, the battery cells can be 
topped up using distilled water.
Do not allow naked flames or other 
sources of ignition near the 
battery, as the battery may emit 
explosive gases.
Ensure that when working near or 
handling the battery, suitable eye 
protection is worn, to protect the 
eyes from acid splashes.
To prevent risk of injury, do not 
allow children near the battery.
Be aware that the battery may emit 
explosive gases.
The battery contains acid which is 
extremely corrosive and toxic.
Consult the handbook for 
information, before handling the 
battery.
