Practical tips
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 overflo
w if it becomes warm.
Note
There is no emergency mechanism for the
manual release of the fuel tank flap
. If nec-
essary, request assistance from special-
ised personnel.
Note
Diesel vehicles are fitted with a protective
device that prevents the inser
tion of the
wrong fuel hose
1)
. It is only possible to re-
fuel with Diesel nozzles.
●
If the pump nozzle 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.
