Operating Instructions
The tank flap is at the rear of the vehicle on the right.
If the automatic filler nozzle is operated correctly, it will switch itself off as
soon as the tank is "full". Never attempt to fill beyond this point, as this will
fill the expansion chamber. Fuel may leak out if ambient conditions are
warm.
The correct fuel grade for your vehicle is given on a sticker on the inside of
the fuel tank flap. Here you will find further information on fuel.
Releasing the fuel tank flap manually
If the central locking system fails, the fuel tank flap can be opened manually
as follows:
● Open the tailgate
● Remove the cover from the right side trim in the luggage compartment.
● Insert a hand and pull the locking device back
● Open the cap and take out the plug.
