Refueling
The fuel tank is equipped with a fuel filling
system without a cover.
Refueling the vehicle at a service
station
It is important to insert the pump's nozzle past both
of the two flaps in the fuel filler pipe before beginning
fueling.
Instructions for fueling:
1. Turn off the engine and open the fuel filler
door.
2. Select a fuel approved for use in the vehi-
cle. For more information on approved
fuels, see the section on "Fuel".
15 Only locking and unlocking using the remote key, Passive Entry* or Volvo On Call will affect the status of the fuel filler door.
3. Insert the pump's nozzle into the fuel filler
pipe's opening. There are two flaps just
inside the fuel filler pipe and the pump's
nozzle must push both of these flaps open
before fuel can be added.
4. Avoid overfilling the tank. Do not press the
handle on the filler nozzle again after it has
initially stopped pumping.
> The fuel tank is now filled.
NOTE
An over-full tank may overflow in hot
weather.
CAUTION
Avoid spilling gasoline during refueling. In
addition to causing damage to the environ-
ment, gasolines containing alcohol can
cause damage to painted surfaces, which
may not be covered under the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
Refueling from a fuel container
When filling from a fuel container, use the fun-
nel provided in a foam block under the floor
hatch in the cargo compartment.
1. Open the fuel filler door.
STARTING AND DRIVING
2. Insert the funnel into the fuel filler pipe's
opening. There are two flaps just inside
the fuel filler pipe and the tube section of
the funnel must push both of these flaps
open before fuel can be added.
