General notes
The filler neck is on the rear right side panel of the vehicle.
The tank flap is automatically locked and unlocked with the central
locking. If the central locking system is defective the flap can be
opened by hand – see next page.
The tank holds about 70 litres.

Filling the tank without problem depends largely on the correct
operation of the petrol pump:
• Do not place the nozzle too deeply into the filler neck and do not
place the nozzle at an angle.
• Do not select a high flow rate – the fuel (particularly Diesel) will
otherwise foam up. This could cause the petrol pump to switch off
prematurely.

As soon as the correctly operated automatic nozzle switches off for the first
time, the tank is full. Do not try then to put more fuel in because the
expansion space in tank will be filled – the fuel can then overflow when it
becomes warm.
After filling tank, screw cap on tightly and lock it.
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.
