The natural gas refuelling systems have an overfill protection with a depend-
ence to the outdoor temperature. With very high outside temperatures, it may
not be possible to fully refuel the natural gas tank.
If the car is parked directly after a refuelling operation, on restart the pointer
of the gas gauge may not show exactly the same level as immediately after
the filling process. This is not a leak in the system, but a reduction in pressure
due to the cooling of the gas in the gas tank after refuelling.
The maximum service life of the natural gas tank is 20 years.
The capacity of the natural gas fuel tank is approximately 15 kg.
WARNING
Natural gas is highly explosive and highly flammable.
■
When refuelling, never get into the vehicle. If, in exceptional cases you
■
need to enter the vehicle, touch a metallic surface before touching the fu-
elling nozzle again. Otherwise, electrostatic discharging may occur - There
is a risk of fire!
Notice
During the filling process sounds occur which have no meaning. If you are un-
sure contact the service station staff.
