Refueling; Fuel Filler Door - Volvo CROSS COUNTRY 2011 Owner's Manual

2001 VOLVO Cross Country

Refueling

The fuel tank is designed to hold approximately 21.1 US gal. (80 liters)* with sufficient volume left over
to accommodate possible expansion of the fuel in hot weather. Be aware that the "usable" tank capacity
will be somewhat less than the specified maximum. When the fuel level is low, such factors as ambient
temperature, the fuel's "Reid vapor pressure" characteristics, and terrain can affect the fuel pump's
ability to supply the engine with an adequate supply of fuel. Therefore, it is advisable to refuel as soon
as possible when the needle nears the red zone, or when the fuel warning light comes on.

Fuel filler door

If you lock your car with the key or remote control, the fuel filler door will lock after a 10-minute delay.
If you intend to leave your car while it is being refueled, this features enables you to lock the door/
tailgate while leaving the fuel filler door unlocked.
You can also keep the car locked if you remain inside it during refueling. The central locking button
does not lock the fuel filler door.
Be sure the fuel filler door is not obstructed and is completely closed after refueling. Open the fuel
filler cap slowly during hot weather conditions.
NOTE: During a transitional period, a small number of service stations may still have fuel nozzles that
are not compatible with the fuel filler neck on cars equipped with the evaporative control system. Please
refer to page 124 for additional information.
