Refueling

Fuel Filler Neck Access

To access the fuel filler neck, the filler
door must be unlocked. From outside
the vehicle, this can only be done by
pressing the unlock or the lock
button on the key fob, in the same
way as if opening or closing the doors.
If any of the door lock controls is
pressed from inside the vehicle, the
filler door will still remain open to
allow refueling.
• Press the indicated area on the filler
door, which is located on the rear left
side of the vehicle: the filler door will
open completely.

Refill the Tank

The fuel filler neck is provided with
external cap.
• Rotate counterclockwise and remove
the fuel filler cap. The cap hermetic
seal may result in a slight pressure
increase inside the tank. Any hissing
noise while the cap is being opened
is therefore completely normal. The
cap is linked to the filler neck with a
strap, to prevent it from being lost
while refueling.
• When refueling, place the cap in the
proper seat on the filler door hinge.
• Insert the fuel nozzle fully into the
filler.
Starting and Driving
WARNING!
• To avoid the risk of fire, do not
approach the filler with open flames
or cigarettes!
• To avoid the risk of inhaling noxious
fumes, do not breathe close to the
fuel filler door, when opened.
•
Never have any smoking materials
lit in or near the vehicle when the
fuel filler door is open or the tank is
being filled.
•
Never add fuel when the engine is
running. This violates most fire-
prevention regulations and may
cause the Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) to turn on (see
"Warning and Indicator Lights" in
section "Dashboard Instruments and
Controls").
• Fill the vehicle with fuel. Fuel tank
capacity is indicated in the "Refillings
Table" in section "Maintenance and
Care". When the fuel nozzle "clicks"
or shuts off, the fuel tank is basically
full: it is possible to further ensure
refueling by enabling the fuel nozzle
additional fuel supply until two clicks.
After the two additional clicks, the
amount of fuel allowed by the system
is very low, we recommend therefore
not to persist further.
