Refueling
Fuel filler door
Always switch off the engine before refu-
eling; otherwise, no fuel can be dispensed
into the tank and a message is displayed.<
To open and close: briefly press the rear edge of
the fuel filler door.
Manual release
In the event of a malfunction, you can release
the fuel filler door manually:
1. Lift the handle to remove the cover panel on
the right side of the luggage compartment.
2. Take the knob with the fuel pump symbol
from the bracket and pull it to unlock the
fuel filler door.
When handling fuel, always take all appli-
cable precautionary measures and regu-
lations. Never transport reserve fuel containers
in the vehicle. These can leak and cause an
explosion or a fire in an accident.<
Simple and environmentally friendly
When handling fuels, always follow any
safety guidelines posted at the gas sta-
tion.<
Put the filler cap in the bracket attached to the
fuel filler door.
When refueling, insert the filler nozzle com-
pletely into the filler pipe. Avoid raising the filler
nozzle during refueling; otherwise, this
> results in premature pump shutoff
> can lead to reduced efficiency in the fuel-
vapor recovery system
The fuel tank is full when the filler nozzle clicks
off the first time.

hear a click.
