WARNING
The retaining strap of the fuel tank cap
can be clamped and crushed when screwing

Danger of injury or damage to property. Make
sure that the retaining strap does not get trap‐
ped and crushed when closing the cap.◀
Unlocking fuel filler flap manually

Note when refuelling
ATTENTION
Fuels are poisonous and aggressive.
Overfilling the fuel tank can damage the fuel
system. If it comes into contact with painted
surfaces, it can damage them. This pollutes
the environment. Danger of damage to prop‐
erty. Avoid overfilling.◀
When refuelling, insert the filler nozzle fully into
the filler neck. Lifting the filler nozzle during re‐
fuelling results in the following:
▷ The fuel supply being cut off prematurely.
▷ Fuel vapour and fumes being fed back less
effectively.
The fuel tank is full when the filler nozzle cuts
out for the first time.
