area (same side as fuel filler flap).
Carefully pull the line back in a straight
line. The flap can now be opened from

Filling up with fuel
The fuel tank is fitted with a coverless fuel
filler system. Filling is carried out as follows:
•
Open the fuel filler flap.
•
Insert the pump nozzle in the fuel filler
opening. Take care to insert the nozzle
properly into the filler pipe. The filler pipe
consists of two opening covers. The noz-
zle must be pushed past both covers
before refuelling is started.
•
Do not overfill the tank but fill until the
pump nozzle cuts out.
NOTE
Excess fuel in the tank can overflow in hot
weather.
NOTE
Avoid spilling by waiting approximately
5-8 seconds before carefully removing the
nozzle once refuelling is complete.
