conditioning may drip down and form a puddle below the vehicle. This is not a
leak!

Tips on economical driving
Fuel consumption depends on the driving style, road and weather conditions,
and similar such factors.
For an economical driving style, the following instructions must be observed.

The capacity of the natural gas fuel tank is about 11 kg, of which about 1.5 kg
are in the reserve tank.
The capacity of the petrol fuel tank is approximately 10 litres, of which about 5
litres is in the reserve tank.WARNING
v
Natural gas is highly explosive and highly flammable.
vWhen refuelling, never get into the vehicle. If you have to get into your
vehicle in exceptional cases, touch a metal surface before you touch the fill-
ing coupling again. Otherwise, electrostatic discharging may occur - risk of
fire!
CAUTION
LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas), LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) and hythane (mix-
ture of hydrogen and methane) must not be used - there is a risk of damaging
the engine and the exhaust system.
Note
During the filling process sounds are heard which are harmless. If you are un-
sure which service station staff to use, ask the petrol station staff.
