NOTICE
Things to consider when
refuelling
Fuels are poisonous and aggressive sub-
stances. Overfilling the fuel tank can damage
the fuel system. If fuel comes into contact
with paintwork, it can damage it. The envi-
ronment is polluted. There is a risk of mate-
rial damage. Avoid overfilling.
General
Before refuelling, take note of the fuel grade
information.
On vehicles with diesel engine, the fuel filler
neck is designed for refuelling at diesel pumps.

zle fully into the filler pipe. Lifting the fuel

The supply is stopped too soon.
Fuel vapour recovery is less effective.
The retaining strap of the fuel filler cap may
become trapped and crushed when turning
the cap to close it. As a result, the cap may
not be closed properly. Fuel or fuel vapours
can leak out. There is a danger of injury or
material damage. Make sure that the retain-
ing strap does not get trapped and crushed
when closing the cap.
The fuel tank is full when the fuel pump nozzle
cuts out for the first time.
Please comply with the safety regulations dis-
played at filling stations.
