Fuel filler neck at right rear side of vehicle.
The tank flap is locked together with the
doors – see page 76.
Open the tank flap.
To open, unscrew the fuel filler cap, remove
and suspend from the tank flap.
The fuel tank has a limiting system which
prevents overfilling of the tank.
Correct filling depends to a large extent on
proper operation of the fuel dispensing
pump:
1.
Fully insert the pump nozzle and switch it
on.
2.
After automatic switch off, the specified
tank capacity is reached after continued,
measured filling. Leave the filler nozzle in
place until the stop.
To close, position the fuel filler cap and
rotate past the resistance until the cap
audibly clicks over the retainer.
Close fuel tank cover.
Wipe off any overflowing fuel immediately.
