Checking and refilling levels
CAUTION
●
If any fuel is spilt ont
o the vehicle, it
should be removed immediately. It could
otherwise damage the paintwork.
●
Never run the tank completely dry. The
catalytic converter can be damaged.
●
When filling the fuel tank after having run
it completely dry on a vehicle with a diesel
engine, the ignition must be switched on for
at least 30 seconds before starting the en-
gine. When you then start the engine it may
take longer than normal (up to one minute)
to start firing.
For the sake of the environment
Do not overfill the fuel tank, it may cause
the fuel t
o overflow if it becomes warm.
Note
There is no emergency mechanism for the
manual r
elease of the fuel tank flap. If nec-
essary, request assistance from special-
ised personnel.
Note
Diesel vehicles are fitted with a protective
de
vice that prevents the insertion of the
wrong fuel hose
1)
. It is only possible to re-
fuel with Diesel nozzles.
●
If the pump no
zzle is worn, damaged, or if
it is very small, it is possible that it will not
be able to open the protective device. Be-
fore trying to insert the pump nozzle by
turning it, try a different pump or request
specialist help.
●
If you fill the tank from a reserve fuel can-
ister, the protective device will not open.
One way to resolve this is to pour the fuel in
very slowly.

press the button on the pump to stop the flow.
If the ambient temperature is very high, the
natural gas pump’s overheating protection
disconnects it automatically.
