Manually releasing the fuel filler flap

In the event of an electrical fault, you can

release the tank flap manually:

The fuel filler flap is released.

Note when refuelling

When handling fuel, comply with

the safety regulations displayed by

garages and filling stations.<

When refuelling, insert the filler nozzle fully into

the filler neck. If the filler nozzle is raised during

refuelling

> the supply of fuel will be cut off prematurely

> fuel vapour and fumes will be fed back less

effectively.

The fuel tank is full when the filler nozzle cuts

out for the first time.

Fuel tank capacity

Approx. 60 litres (13 Imp. gal.), including a

reserve of:

> Cars with petrol engine: approx. 8 litres

(1.8 Imp. gal.)

> Cars with diesel engine: approx. 6.5 litres

(1.4 Imp. gal.)

If the remaining operating range is below

50 km (30 miles), it is imperative to add

fuel, otherwise the engine's functions are not

assured and damage may occur.<
