Fuel Filling

The fuel tank filler neck has a restricted opening which will only
accept the fuel supply nozzle of unleaded fuel pumps.
Open the fuel flap by pressing the fuel flap
release button (A (located in the driver's
footwell)). If the filler flap will not open when
the release button is pressed, use the fuel
filler flap emergency release.
Turn the cap counterclockwise past
resistance, then lift off. Place the cap into its
holder. Install the cap by turning clockwise
past resistance, until three 'clicks' are felt as
the cap is fully tightened. Close and latch the
fuel flap.

The fuel system will not let the fuel tank overfill but there will be times
when the fuel nozzle will shut OFF prematurely. If this happens only
try to fill the fuel tank one more time, continued attempts will result
in fuel spillage. Wait 10 seconds before removing the refuelling
nozzle.
Fuel Filler Bowl
To stop water gathering in the fuel filler bowl and flowing into the fuel
tank, the fuel filler bowl has a pipe to let the water drain from the
bowl. During fuel filling, check and make sure that any debris which
may block the pipe is removed.
Fuel Filler Flap Emergency Release
If the filler flap will not open when the release button is pressed, open
the filler flap manually. Reach through the left side trunk trim to
access the manual fuel filler flap release. Pull the lever (B) to open the
filler flap.
