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 counter-clockwise
past resistance, then lift off and
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
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.
