●
Start refuelling. The tank is full as soon as
the pump’s automatic nozzle cuts off the
fuel supply. Do not try to put in more fuel af-
ter the nozzle cuts out, as this will fill the ex-
pansion chamber in the fuel tank.
●
Unscrew the cap by turning it to the right
as far as it will go.
●
Close the lid.
The correct fuel grade for your vehicle is giv-
en on a sticker on the inside of the fuel tank
flap. Further notes on fuel can be found at

Hybrid vehicles
Every 6 months it is necessary to run on pet-
rol until the control lamp switches off, and
then the tank must be refilled. This is neces-
sary to ensure that the system works proper-
ly, as well as the fuel quality required for driv-
ing with petrol.
WARNING
Fuel is highly flammable and can cause se-
rious burns and other injuries.
●
When refuelling, turn off the engine and
turn off the ignition for safety reasons.
●
Do not smoke when filling the fuel tank or
a canister. Naked flames are forbidden in
the vicinity due to the risk of explosion.
●
Observe legislation governing the use,
storage and carrying of a spare fuel canister
in the vehicle.
●
For safety reasons we do not recommend
carrying a spare fuel canister in the vehicle.
