Before you open the fuel filler cap or
#
take hold of the pump nozzle, touch the
metallic vehicle body.
This discharges any electrostatic charge
that may have built up.
Do not get into the vehicle again during
#
the refueling process.
Otherwise, electrostatic charge can
build up again.

Vehicles with a gasoline engine:
Even small amounts of the wrong fuel could
result in damage to the fuel system, the
engine and the emission control system.
The RON requirement is located in the
#
fuel filler flap.
Only refuel with low-sulfur unleaded
#
fuel.
This fuel may contain up to 10% ethanol. Your
