General Information
Refueling
Warning
To help reduce hazards associated
with refueling, always observe the
following fuel safety instructions:
- Gasoline (fuel) is highly flammable
and can be explosive under certain
conditions. When refueling, turn the
ignition switch to the OFF position.
- Do not smoke.
- Do not use a mobile telephone.
- Make sure the refueling area is well
ventilated and free from any source
of flame or sparks. This includes any
appliance with a pilot light.
- Never fill the tank until the fuel level
rises into the filler neck. Heat from
sunlight or other sources may cause
the fuel to expand and overflow
creating a fire hazard.
- After refueling always check that the
fuel filler cap is correctly closed.
- Because gasoline (fuel) is highly
flammable, any fuel leak or spillage,
or any failure to observe the safety
advice given above will lead to a fire
hazard, which could cause damage to
property, injury to persons or death.

Fuel Tank Cap
1. Fuel tank cap
To open the fuel tank cap:
• Remove the cover or lift up the flap.
• Insert the key into the lock and turn
the key clockwise.
• Rotate the cap counterclockwise
and lift clear of the tank filler neck.
To close and lock the cap:
• Align the cap to the tank filler neck
and rotate the cap clockwise until
the cap seals against the filler neck.
• In the fully closed position, a ratchet
mechanism prevents overtightening
of the cap by allowing the outer part
of the cap to turn independently of
the internal part.
• Turn the key counterclockwise to
lock and withdraw the key.
• Replace the cover.
