Filling Up With Fuel; Fuel Cap - Volvo C70 Owner's Manual

Refuelling
Switch off the fuel-driven parking heater
before starting to refuel.
Fuel filler flap
Opening from the passenger
compartment
The engine must be switched off before the
flap can be opened. The fuel filler flap is
located on the right-hand side of the car.
– Press the button on the lighting panel,
see page 46.
Closing
– Push in the flap until you hear a click.
Opening from the cargo area
Manual opening of the fuel filler flap is easier
when the roof is closed, and is used when it
is not possible to open it from the passenger
compartment.
– Remove the cover over the lamp housing
on the right-hand side of the cargo area.
– Pull the cord hanging on the hook.
– When the fuel filler flap has opened, refit
the cord and cover.

Fuel cap

Turn the fuel cap until an obvious resistance
is felt. Turn past the resistance until it comes
to a stop. Take out the cap. Hang up the cap
on the inside of the fuel filler flap.
Starting and driving
Put the petrol cap back after refuelling. Turn
until one or more clear clicks are heard.

Filling up with fuel

Fill the tank with fuel until the filler pump cuts
out. Too much fuel can overflow in warm
weather.
Fuel of a lower quality than that specified on
page 210 should not be used as engine
power and fuel consumption can be
negatively affected.
WARNING!
Fuel which spills onto the ground can be
ignited by the exhaust fumes.
Switch off the fuel-driven heater before
starting to refuel.
Never carry an activated mobile phone
when refuelling as the ring signal could
cause spark build-up and ignite petrol
fumes, leading to fire and injury.
