Refueling
Fuel Filler Neck Access
The fuel filler door is found on the
rear, left-hand side of the vehicle.
To open the fuel filler door, press
button on the left control panel next
to the steering wheel.
It can be operated only when the key
is removed from the ignition switch or
turned toSTOP (OFF) position.
Refill the Tank
The fuel filler neck is provided with
external cap.
• Rotate counterclockwise and remove
the fuel filler cap. The cap hermetic
seal may result in a slight pressure
increase inside the tank. Any hissing
noise while the cap is being opened
is therefore completely normal. The cap is linked to the filler neck with a
strap, to prevent it from being lost
while refueling.
• When refueling, the cap must remain attached to the door by means of the
hook provided.
• Insert the fuel nozzle fully into the filler.
WARNING!
• To avoid the risk of fire, do not
approach the filler with open flames
or cigarettes!
• To avoid the risk of inhaling noxious
fumes, do not breathe close to the
fuel filler door, when opened.
• Never have any smoking materials lit
in or near the vehicle when the fuel
filler door is open or the tank is
being filled.
• Never add fuel when the engine is
running. This violates most
fire-prevention regulations and may
cause the
Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) to turn on (see
“Instrument Cluster” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”).
• Fill the vehicle with fuel. Fuel tank capacity
is indicated in the
“Refillings” table in section
“Features and Specifications”.
When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or
shuts off, the fuel tank is basically
full: it is possible to further ensure
refueling by enabling the fuel nozzle
additional fuel supply until two
clicks. After the two additional clicks,
