Fuel And Refuelling; Safety Precautions; Catalytic Converter; Fuel Filler Flap - Ford Figo Manual

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNINGS
Stop refuelling after the fuel nozzle
stops the second time. Additional
fuel will fill the expansion space in
the fuel tank which could lead to fuel
overflowing. Fuel spillage could be
hazardous to other road users.
Do not use any kind of flames or heat
near the fuel system. The fuel system
is under pressure. There is a risk of
injury if the fuel system is leaking.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER

WARNING
Do not park or idle your vehicle over
dry leaves, dry grass or other
combustible materials. The exhaust
will radiate a considerable amount of heat
during use, and after you have switched
the engine off. This is a potential fire
hazard.
Driving with a catalytic converter
CAUTIONS

periods.

plug lead is disconnected.
Do not push-start or tow-start your
vehicle. Use booster cables. See
Jump-Starting the Vehicle (page

driving.
