refueling process. Otherwise, electrostatic
charge could build up again.

Do not use diesel to refuel vehicles with a
gasoline engine. Do not switch on the igni-
tion if you accidentally refuel with the wrong
fuel. Otherwise, the fuel will enter the fuel
system. Even small amounts of the wrong
fuel could result in damage to the fuel sys-
tem and the engine. Notify a qualified spe-
cialist workshop and have the fuel tank and
fuel lines drained completely.
!
Overfilling the fuel tank could damage the
fuel system.
!
Take care not to spill any fuel on painted
surfaces. You could otherwise damage the
paintwork.
!
Use a filter when adding fuel from a fuel
can. The fuel lines and/or the fuel injection
system could otherwise be blocked by parti-
cles from the fuel can.
If you overfill the fuel tank, fuel could spray
out when the fuel pump nozzle is removed.
