Refueling
CAUTION
•
Do not refuel with the engine running
Turn the ignition off or to position I. If
the ignition is on, an incorrect reading
could occur in the fuel gauge.
•
After refueling, close the fuel filler cap
by turning it clockwise until it clicks
1
into place .
•
Avoid overfilling the fuel tank. Do not
press the handle on the filler nozzle
more than one extra time. Too much
fuel in the tank in hot weather condi-
tions can cause the fuel to overflow.
Overfilling could also cause damage to
the emission control systems.
•
Avoid spilling gasoline during refueling.
In addition to causing damage to the
environment, gasolines containing
alcohol can cause damage to painted
06
surfaces, which may not be covered
under the New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty.
•
Do not use gasolines containing meth-
anol (methyl alcohol, wood alcohol).
This practice can result in vehicle per-
formance deterioration and can dam-
age critical parts in the fuel system.
Such damage may not be covered
If the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is running when the vehicle is refueled, the Check Engine Light (malfunction indicator lamp) may indicate a fault. However, your vehicle's
1
performance will not be affected. Use only Volvo original or approved fuel filler caps.
