We recommend that you wait at  
least 10 seconds before removing the  
fuel nozzle to allow any residual fuel  
to drain into the fuel tank.  
Stop refueling after the fuel nozzle  
stops the second time. Additional  
fuel will fill the expansion space in  
the fuel tank which could lead to fuel  
overflowing. Fuel spillage could be  
hazardous to other road users.  
combustible materials. The exhaust  
will radiate a considerable amount of heat  
during use, and after you have switched  
the engine off. This is a potential fire  
hazard.

4. Operate the fuel nozzle within the area  
shown.  
Note: When you insert the correct size fuel  
nozzle, a spring loaded inhibitor will open.  
This helps to avoid filling up with the  
incorrect fuel.  
2. Insert the fuel nozzle up to and  
including the first notch on the fuel  
nozzle A. Keep it resting on the cover  
of the fuel pipe opening.  
5. Slightly raise the fuel nozzle to remove  
it.  
FUEL CONSUMPTION  
We derive CO2 and fuel consumption  
figures in laboratory tests according to  
Regulation (EC) 715/2007 or CR (EC)  
692/2008 and subsequent amendments.  
They are intended as a comparison  
between makes and models of vehicles.  
They are not intended to represent the real  
world fuel consumption you may get from  
your vehicle.  
Real world fuel consumption is governed  
by many factors, for example driving style,  
high speed driving, stop-start driving, air  
conditioning usage, the accessories fitted,  
payload and towing.  
3. Hold the fuel nozzle in position B during  
refueling. Holding the fuel nozzle in  
position A can affect the flow of fuel  
and shut off the fuel nozzle before the  
fuel tank is full.
