- Make sure you never spill fuel in the
vehi­

cle or in the luggage compartment. Fuel
vapour is explosive - danger to life!
© Note
(7) CAUTION
- If any fuel is spilt onto the vehicle, it should
be removed immediately as it could other­
wise damage the paintwork.
- Never run the tank completely dry. If there
is an irregular fuel supply, misfiring can oc­
cur. As a result unburnt fuel can enter the
exhaust system and cause damage to the
catalytic converter(s).
- Applies to vehicles with diesel engine: When
filling the fuel tank after having run it com­
pletely dry, the ignition must be switched
on for at least 30 seconds before the engine
is started. When you then start the engine it
may take longer than normal (up to one mi­
nute) for the engine to start firing. This is
because air needs to be bled from the fuel
system while starting.
® For the sake of the envir
Do not try to put in more fuel after the auto­
matic filler nozzle has switched off; this may
cause the fuel to overflow if it becomes warm.

(T)
Note
Applies to: vehicles with diesel engine
Diesel vehicles are equipped with an incorrect
fuelling protection
system1).
This system en­
sures that the tank can only be fuelled from a
diesel filler nozzle.
- If the filler nozzle is old, damaged or too

small,
it may not be able to open the pro­
tection mechanism on the fuel tank. In this

case,
try turning the filler nozzle before in­
serting it in the fuel filler neck, use a differ­
ent filling pump or seek professional assis­

tance.

- The protection mechanism will not open if
you try to add fuel from a spare fuel canis­
ter. You can get round this simply by adding
the diesel fuel slowly.
