all obstructions are removed from
the hood opening. Closing the hood
with an obstruction present in the
hood opening may result in property
damage or severe personal injury.
• Do not leave gloves, rags or any other
combustible material in the engine
compartment. Doing so may cause a
heat-induced fire.
• Do not move the vehicle with
the hood raised. The view will be
blocked and the hood could fall or be
damaged.

Fuel filler door
Opening the fuel filler door
OBC3050027OBC3050027
1. Turn the engine off.
2. Ensure the driver’s door is unlocked.
3. Push the fuel filler door gently on
the “markings” (near the 3o‘clock
position.)
OBI3050016OBI3050016
3. Pull the fuel filler door out (1) to fully
open.
4. To remove the fuel tank cap (2), turn
it counterclockwise. You may hear a
hissing noise as the pressure inside
the tank equalizes.
5. Place the cap on the fuel filler door (3).
WARNING
• Your diesel vehicle is equipped with
the specially-designed breakaway
valve inside the filler inlet to prevent
accidental fuel blending with petrol.
The fuel inlet of your diesel vehicle
cannot be fitted with a standard
petrol nozzle. Do not forcefully insert
a standard petrol nozzle into the filler
inlet of your diesel vehicle. It may
damage your vehicle.
• Some gas stations may still use
standard petrol nozzles for diesel
refueling. If you find that a diesel
nozzle is narrower than the fuel
filler inlet diameter of your diesel
vehicle, we recommend you to find/
visit another gas station, which
is equipped with standard diesel
nozzles.
• Fully insert a standard diesel nozzle
into the filler inlet to open the
breakaway valve. If the nozzle is not
fully inserted into the filler inlet, it
causes diesel fuels to flow out of the
fuel tank.
i Information
If the fuel filler door does not open
because ice has formed around it, tap
lightly or push on the door to break the
ice and release the door. Do not pry on the
door. If necessary, spray around the door
with an approved de-icer fluid (do not use
radiator anti-freeze) or move the vehicle
to a warm place and allow the ice to melt.

Convenient features
Closing the fuel filler door
1. To install the fuel tank cap (2), turn it
clockwise until it “clicks” once. This
indicates that the cap is securely
tightened.
2. Close the fuel filler door (1) and push it
lightly and make sure that it is securely
closed.
WARNING
Petrol is highly flammable and
explosive. Failure to follow these
guidelines may result in SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH:
• Read and follow all warnings posted
at the gas station.
• Before refueling, note the location
of the Emergency Petrol Shut-Off,if
available, at the gas station.
• Before touching the fuel nozzle, you
should eliminate the potential build-
up of static electricity by touching
a metal part of the vehicle, a safe
distance away from the fuel filler
neck, nozzle, or other gas source,
with your bare hand.
• Do not use cellular phones while
refueling. Electric current and/or
electronic interference from cellular
phones can potentially ignite fuel
vapors and cause a fire. • Do not get back into a vehicle
once you have begun refueling.
You can generate a buildup of
static electricity by touching,
rubbing or sliding against any item
or fabric capable of producing
static electricity. Static electricity
discharge can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. If you must re-enter
the vehicle, you should once again
eliminate potentially dangerous
static electricity discharge by
touching a metal part of the vehicle,
away from the fuel filler neck, nozzle
or other petrol source, with your bare
hand.
• When using an approved portable
fuel container, be sure to place the
container on the ground prior to
refueling. Static electricity discharge
from the container can ignite fuel
vapors causing a fire. Once refueling
has begun, contact between your
bare hand and the vehicle should
be maintained until the filling is
complete.
• Use only approved portable plastic
fuel containers designed to carry and
store petrol.
