CAUTIONS
Do not run the engine when a spark
plug lead is disconnected.
Do not push-start or tow-start your
vehicle. Use booster cables. See
Using booster cables (page 199).
Do not switch the ignition off when
driving.
FUEL FILLER FLAP
WARNINGS
Take care when refuelling to avoid
spilling any residual fuel from the fuel
nozzle.
Do not use any kind of flames or
heat near the fuel system. The fuel
system is under pressure. There is
a risk of injury if the fuel system is leaking.
CAUTION
If you use a high pressure spray to
wash your vehicle, only spray the fuel
filler flap briefly from a distance not
less than 20 centimetres (8 inches).
Note:
The sliding door is inhibited from
opening fully when the fuel filler flap is
open.
Press the flap to open it. Open the flap
fully until it engages.
When you insert the fuel nozzle, a spring
loaded inhibitor will open if the correct size
nozzle is detected. This helps to avoid
filling up with the wrong fuel.
WARNING
Stop refuelling after the fuel nozzle
stops the second time. Additional
fuel will fill the expansion space in
the fuel tank which could lead to fuel
overflowing. Fuel spillage could be
hazardous to other road users.
Insert the fuel nozzle up to and including
the first notch on the nozzle. Keep it
resting on the cover of the fuel pipe
opening.
WARNING
We recommend that you wait at
least 10 seconds before slowly
removing the fuel nozzle to allow
any residual fuel to drain into the fuel tank.
