General information
Follow the fuel recommendation prior to refuel-

When refueling, hook the filler nozzle com-
pletely into the filler pipe. Lifting up the filler
nozzle during refueling causes:
▷ Premature switching off.
▷ Reduced return of the fuel vapors.
The fuel tank is full when the filler nozzle clicks
off the first time.
Make sure that the fuel cap is closed properly
after refueling, otherwise the emissions warn-
ing light may light up.

station.
