of the right-hand side rear wing panel,

Fuel Filling
The Emira uses a capless fuel system,
using spring-loaded flaps and seals
within the neck of the fuel filler tube
to prevent fuel and vapours from
escaping.
Using a Filling Station
– With the engine switched off, insert
the pump nozzle fully into the neck
so that both spring-loaded flaps are
open.
– Ensure a suitable grade of fuel is
selected, (see page 176), fill to the
required quantity or until the auto-
shut off mechanism is triggered.
WARNING: Switch off the engine
before re-fuelling.
FUEL FILLING AND FUEL
WARNING: Follow all operating and
safety instructions displayed at the
filling station when refuelling.
WARNING: Petrol and petrol fumes
are highly explosive. You can be
burned or seriously injured when
handling fuel.
WARNING: Before re-fuelling,
switch off mobile phones and other
electronic equipment, ensure that
all cigarettes are extinguished
and that no naked flames or other
potential ignition sources are
present.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to fill
the tank to the top of the filler
neck, as expansion of the fuel due
to temperature change may cause
flooding of the fuel tank breather
system charcoal canister, or
spillage of fuel.
For further information on the fuel level
display and fuel tank capacity refer to
pages 64 and 237.
