Refuelling is carried out as follows.
1. Open the fuel filler flap.
2. Insert the pump nozzle in the fuel filler open-
ing. Make sure you insert the nozzle fully into
the fuel filler pipe so that it passes the two
covers of the pipe.
IMPORTANT
The filler pipe has two openable caps, and the
nozzle must be inserted past both caps
before filling begins.

Handling of fuel

Do not use fuel with a lower quality than that rec-
ommended by Volvo, as this will negatively affect
engine power and fuel consumption.
WARNING
Always avoid inhaling fuel vapour and getting
fuel splashes in the eyes.
In the event of fuel in the eyes, remove any
contact lenses and rinse the eyes in plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes and seek medi-
cal attention.
Never swallow fuel. Fuels such as petrol, bioe-
thanol and mixtures of them and diesel are
highly toxic and could cause permanent injury
or be fatal if swallowed. Seek medical atten-
tion immediately if fuel has been swallowed.
WARNING
Fuel which spills onto the ground can be igni-
ted.
Switch off the fuel-driven heater before star-
ting to refuel.
Never carry an activated mobile phone when
refuelling. The ring signal could cause spark
build-up and ignite petrol fumes, leading to
fire and injury.
