Manually releasing the fuel filler flap
In the event of a malfunction, you can release
the fuel filler flap manually:
1.
Remove the cover fr om the right-hand
sidewall of the trunk.
2. Pull the button with the fuel pump symbol
down.
The fuel filler flap is released.
Observe the following when refueling
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
recovery system.
The fuel tank is full when the filler nozzle clicks
off the first time.
Do not overfill the fuel tank; otherwise,
fuel spills can caus e damage to the
environment and the vehicle. <
When handling fuels, follow the safety
instructions provided at filling stations;
otherwise, there is a risk of personal injury or
property damage. <
Fuel tank capacity
Approx. 14 US gal/53 liters, including the
reserve capacity of 2.1 US gal/8 liters.
Fuel recommendations
Gasoline
For optimum fuel consumption, the gasoline
should be sulfur-free or as low in sulfur as
possible.
Never use fuels labeled at the fuel pump as
metal-containing.
Do not use leaded gasoline or gasoline
with metallic additives such as manga-
nese or iron; doing so can cause permanent
damage to the catalyti c converter and other
components. <
Use fuels with a maximum ethanol content of
10 Ξ, i.e. E10.
The ethanol should meet the following quality
standards:
US: ASTM 4806-xx
CAN: CGSB-3.511-xx
xx: comply with the cu rrently valid standard.
Do not fill the tank with E85, i.e. fuel con-
taining 85 Ξ ethanol, nor with FlexFuel.
Otherwise, the engine and fuel supply system
will be damaged. <
Fuel grade
BMW recommends AKI 91.
