refueling
General information
When refueling, insert the filler nozzle completely
into the filler pipe. Lifting up the fuel pump nozzle
during refueling causes:
▷ Premature switching off.
▷ Reduced return of the fuel vapors.
The fuel tank is full when the filler nozzle clicks
off the first time.
2. Pull the green knob with the fuel pump sym‐
bol. This releases the fuel filler flap.
Make sure that the fuel cap is closed properly af‐
ter refueling, otherwise the emissions warning
light may light up.
Follow safety regulations posted at the gas sta‐
tion.
Safety information
Warning
Simultaneous charging and refueling poses a
risk of fire if a sufficient safety distance from
easily flammable materials is not maintained.
There is a risk of injury or risk of damage to
property. Do not fill the vehicle with fuel and
charge it simultaneously.
3. Open the fuel filler flap.
4. Carefully open the fuel cap. Excess pressure
can build up in the fuel tank from gasoline va‐
por.
NOTICE
Fuels are toxic and aggressive. Overfilling of the
fuel tank can damage the fuel system. Painted
surfaces may be damaged by contact with fuel.
Escaping fuel can harm the environment. There
is a risk of damage to property. Avoid overfilling.
5. Refuel the vehicle as usual. The excess pres‐
sure in the tank may make refueling difficult,
for instance the fuel pump nozzle may shut
off frequently.
Have the vehicle checked immediately by a deal‐
er's service center or another qualified service
center or repair shop.
