General information
CAUTION
l
Since the fuel system may be under pres-
sure, remove the fuel tank filler tube cap
slowly. This relieves any pressure or vac-
uum that might have built up in the fuel
tank. If the cap is venting vapour or if
you hear a hissing sound, wait until it
stops before removing the cap. Other-
wise, fuel may spray out, injuring you or
others.
4. To fill with fuel correctly depends mainly on
correct handling of the fuel filler gun. Do not
tilt the gun. Insert the gun in the tank port as
far as it goes.
CAUTION
l A label which reads "UNLEADED FUEL
ONLY" is attached to the fuel tank filler
lid of vehicles which can only operate us-
ing unleaded petrol. Serious engine and
catalytic converter damage will result if
leaded petrol is filled into these vehicles,
and consequently, this must never be at-
tempted.
5. When the gun stops automatically, do not fill
with fuel any more.
CAUTION
l To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do
not "top-off" the fuel tank.
