Opening the fuel filler cap
Pull the release switch ꢀ in the driver door upwards ⇒ꢀfig. 161.
The fuel filler flap is on the right rear side of the vehicle.
Open the fuel filler flap.
Unscrew the fuel cap counterclockwise and remove. Use the slot or
the upper edge of the fuel filler flap to hold the cap while refueling
⇒ꢀfig. 162.
Refueling
The correct fuel grade for your vehicle ⇒ꢀ Fuel is listed on a sticker on
the inside of the fuel filler flap ⇒ꢀfig. 162 (arrow).
The fuel tank is full when the automatic filler nozzle pump switches
off the first time ⇒ꢀ
.
Do not try to add fuel after the pump stops! Topping off the tank in
this way may fill the expansion space that the tank needs and cause
fuel to overflow, for example, if it gets warmer outside.
Closing the fuel filler cap
Screw the fuel cap clockwise onto the fuel filler neck until you hear
it click into place.
Close the fuel filler flap until you hear it latch shut. The fuel filler
flap must be flush with the vehicle body.
WARNING
Spilled fuel can cause fires, explosions, burns, and other se-
vere injuries.
Always stop refueling once the pump nozzle switches off so
that the tank does not overflow.
NOTICE
Remove fuel spills from all vehicle surfaces immediately to help
prevent damage to the paint, tires, and wheel housings.
Fuel spills may pollute the environment.
