The fuel tank is fitted with a capless fuel filler
system. Filling is carried out as follows:
1. Open the fuel filler door.
2. Choose fuel that is approved for use in the
car in accordance with the identifier

on the
inside of the fuel filler flap.
See information on approved fuels in the
respective section on petrol (p. 297) and
diesel (p. 298).
3. Insert the pump nozzle in the fuel filler open-
ing. Take care to insert the nozzle properly
into the filler pipe. The filler pipe consists of
two opening caps. The nozzle must be
pushed past both caps before refuelling is
started.
4. Do not overfill the tank but stop refuelling
when the pump nozzle cuts out the first time.
NOTE
Overfilled 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.
