General notes
The filler neck is located in the rear right-side panel.
The fuel tank cap turns freely to prevent it's opening without a key.
Open the cover, hold the cap with one hand and next introduce the
key in the lock and turn it 180° to the left. At this moment the cap
should unscrew in a counter-clockwise direction.

As soon as the automatic nozzle, correctly operated, disconnects for the
first time, the tank is full. Do not continue filling since the expansion space
would be occupied. If it heats up the fuel could overflow.
After filling the tank, screw cap and close tank flap until it engages.
The cap is tied to an anti-loss cord.
N N o o t t e e
Any fuel spillage should be wiped off the paint finish immediately, as the
paint could otherwise be damaged, especially if it is RME ("biodiesel") fuel.
C C a a u u t t i i o o n n
On vehicles with a catalytic converter, never drive until the fuel tank is
completely empty. The irregular fuel supply can cause misfiring. This allows
unburnt fuel into the exhaust system, which can cause overheating and
K
damage to the catalyst.
