WARNINGS
Do not overfill the fuel tank. Thepressure in an overfilled tank maycause leakage and lead to fuel sprayand fire.
The fuel system may be underpressure. If you hear a hissing soundnear the fuel filler door (Easy Fuelcapless fuel system), do not refuel untilthe sound stops. Otherwise, fuel may sprayout, which could cause serious personalinjury.
Automotive fuels can cause seriousinjury or death if misused ormishandled.
The flow of fuel through a fuel pumpnozzle can produce static electricity,which can cause a fire if fuel ispumped into an ungrounded fuel container.
Fuel ethanol and petrol may containbenzene, which is a cancer-causingagent.
When refuelling always shut theengine off and never allow sparks oropen flames near the filler neck.Never smoke while refuelling. Fuel vapouris extremely hazardous under certainconditions. Care should be taken to avoidinhaling excess fumes.
Observe the following guidelines whenhandling automotive fuel:
•Extinguish all smoking materials andany open flames before refuelling yourvehicle.
•Always turn off the vehicle beforerefuelling.
•Automotive fuels can be harmful orfatal if swallowed. Fuel such as petrolis highly toxic and if swallowed cancause death or permanent injury. If fuelis swallowed, call a doctorimmediately, even if no symptoms areimmediately apparent. The toxiceffects of fuel may not be visible forhours.
•Avoid inhaling fuel vapours. Inhalingtoo much fuel vapour of any kind canlead to eye and respiratory tractirritation. In severe cases, excessive orprolonged breathing of fuel vapour cancause serious illness and permanentinjury.
•Avoid getting fuel liquid in your eyes. Iffuel is splashed in the eyes, removecontact lenses (if worn), flush withwater for 15 minutes and seek medicalattention. Failure to seek propermedical attention could lead topermanent injury.
•Fuels can also be harmful if absorbedthrough the skin. If fuel is splashed onthe skin, clothing or both, promptlyremove contaminated clothing andwash skin thoroughly with soap andwater. Repeated or prolonged skincontact with fuel liquid or vapourcauses skin irritation.
•Be particularly careful if you are taking“Antabuse” or other forms of disulfiramfor the treatment of alcoholism.Breathing petrol vapours, or skincontact could cause an adversereaction. In sensitive individuals, seriouspersonal injury or sickness may result.If fuel is splashed on the skin, promptlywash skin thoroughly with soap andwater. Consult a doctor immediately ifyou experience an adverse reaction.
91Fuel and Refuelling

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine FUEL QUALITY - PETROL
WARNINGS
Do not mix petrol with oil, diesel orother liquids. This could cause achemical reaction.
Do not use leaded petrol or petrolwith additives containing othermetallic compounds (e.g.manganese-based). They could damagethe emission system.
Note:We recommend that you use onlyhigh quality fuel.
Note:We do not recommend the use ofadditional additives or other enginetreatments for normal vehicle use.
Use minimum 95 octane unleaded petrolthat meets the specification defined by EN228 or the equivalent nationalspecification.
Your vehicle is suitable for use with ethanolblends up to 10% (E5 and E10).
Long-Term Storage
Most petrol contains ethanol. Werecommend that you fill the fuel tank withfuel that does not contain ethanol if youintend to store your vehicle for more thantwo months. Alternatively, we recommendthat you seek advice from your dealer.
FUEL QUALITY - DIESEL
WARNINGS
Do not mix diesel with oil, petrol orother liquids. This could cause achemical reaction.
Do not add kerosene, paraffin orpetrol to diesel. This could causedamage to the fuel system.
WARNINGS
Use diesel that meets thespecification defined by EN 590 orthe relevant national specification.
Note:We recommend that you use onlyhigh quality fuel.
Note:We do not recommend the use ofadditional additives or other enginetreatments for normal vehicle use.
Note:We do not recommend the use ofadditional additives to prevent fuel waxing.
Long-Term Storage
Most diesel fuels contain biodiesel. Werecommend that you fill the fuel tank withfuel that does not contain biodiesel if youintend to store your vehicle for more thantwo months. Alternatively, we recommendthat you seek advice from your dealer.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
Avoid running out of fuel because thissituation may have an adverse effect onpowertrain components.
If you have run out of fuel:
•You may need to cycle the ignition fromoff to on several times after refuellingto allow the fuel system to pump thefuel from the tank to the engine. Onrestarting, cranking time will take a fewseconds longer than normal. Withkeyless ignition, just start the engine.Crank time will be longer than usual.
•Normally, adding 1 gallon (4.6 litres) offuel is enough to restart the engine. Ifyour vehicle is out of fuel and on asteep slope, more than 1 gallon (4.6litres) may be required.
92Fuel and Refuelling

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Refilling With a Portable FuelContainer
WARNINGS
Do not insert the nozzle of portablefuel containers or aftermarketfunnels into the capless fuel system.This could damage the fuel system and itsseal, and may cause fuel to run onto theground instead of filling the tank, whichcould result in serious personal injury.
Do not try to pry open or push openthe capless fuel system with foreignobjects. This could damage the fuelsystem and its seal and cause injury to youor others.
Note:Do not use aftermarket funnels; theywill not work with the capless fuel systemand can damage it. The included funnel hasbeen specially designed to work safely withyour vehicle.
When filling your vehicle’s fuel tank froma portable fuel container, use the funnelincluded with your vehicle.
1.Locate the plastic funnel in the glovebox.
2.Slowly insert the funnel into thecapless fuel system.
3.Fill your vehicle with fuel from theportable fuel container.
4.When done, clean the funnel orproperly dispose of it. Extra funnels canbe purchased from your authoriseddealer if you choose to dispose of thefunnel.
CATALYTIC CONVERTER
WARNING
Do not park or idle your vehicle overdry leaves, dry grass or othercombustible materials. The exhaustwill radiate a considerable amount of heatduring use, and after you have switchedthe engine off. This is a potential firehazard.
Driving with a Catalytic Converter
WARNINGS
Avoid running out of fuel.
Do not crank the engine for longperiods.
Do not run the engine when a sparkplug lead is disconnected.
Do not push-start or tow-start yourvehicle. Use booster cables. SeeJump-Starting the Vehicle (page122).
Do not switch the ignition off whendriving.
REFUELLING
WARNINGS
Do not attempt to start the engine ifyou have filled the fuel tank with theincorrect fuel. This could damage theengine. Have the system checked by anauthorised dealer immediately.
93Fuel and Refuelling

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine WARNINGS
Do not use any kind of flames or heatnear the fuel system. The fuel systemis under pressure. There is a risk ofinjury if the fuel system is leaking.
If you use a high pressure spray towash your vehicle, only spray the fuelfiller flap briefly from a distance notless than 8 inches (200 millimetres).
We recommend that you wait atleast 10 seconds before removing thefuel pipe nozzle to allow any residualfuel to drain into the fuel tank.
Stop refuelling after the fuel nozzlestops the second time. Additionalfuel will fill the expansion space inthe fuel tank which could lead to fueloverflowing. Fuel spillage could behazardous to other road users.
Do not remove the nozzle from itsfully inserted position during theentire refuelling process.
Note:It is not possible to fully open thesliding door when the fuel filler flap is open.
Note:Your vehicle does not have a fuel fillercap.
1.Press the flap to open it. Open the flapfully until it engages.
Note:When you insert the correct size fuelnozzle, a spring loaded inhibitor will open.This helps to avoid filling up with the wrongfuel.
2.Insert the fuel nozzle up to andincluding the first notch on the nozzleA. Keep it resting on the cover of thefuel pipe opening.
3.Hold the nozzle in position B duringrefilling. Holding the nozzle in positionA may affect the flow of fuel and shutoff the fuel nozzle before the fuel tankis full.

5.Slightly raise the fuel nozzle to removeit.
FUEL CONSUMPTION
Note:The amount of usable fuel in theempty reserve varies and should not berelied upon to increase driving range. Whenrefuelling your vehicle after the fuel gaugeindicates empty, you might not be able torefuel the full amount of the advertisedcapacity of the fuel tank due to the emptyreserve still present in the tank.
The CO2 and fuel consumption figures arederived from laboratory tests according toRegulation (EC) 715/2007 and subsequentamendments are carried out by all vehiclemanufacturers.
They are intended as a comparisonbetween makes and models of vehicles.They are not intended to represent the realworld fuel consumption you may get fromyour vehicle. Real world fuel consumptionis governed by many factors including:driving style, high speed driving, stop-startdriving, air conditioning usage, theaccessories fitted, payload, towing, etc.
The advertised capacity is the indicatedcapacity and the empty reserve combined.Indicated capacity is the difference in theamount of fuel in a full tank and a tankwhen the fuel gauge indicates empty.Empty reserve is the amount of fuel in thetank after the fuel gauge indicates empty.
Filling the Tank
For consistent results when filling the fueltank:
•Switch the ignition off before fuelling.An inaccurate reading results if youleave the engine running.
•Use the same fill rate(low-medium-high) each time the tankis filled.
•Allow no more than two automaticshut-offs when filling.
Results are most accurate when the fillingmethod is consistent.
Calculating Fuel Economy
Do not measure fuel economy during thefirst 1000 miles (1600 km) of driving (thisis your engine’s running-in period). A moreaccurate measurement is obtained after2000 - 3000 miles (3200 - 4800 km).Also, fuel expense, frequency of fill ups orfuel gauge readings are not accurate waysto measure fuel economy.
1.Fill the fuel tank completely and recordthe initial odometer reading.
2.Each time you fill the tank, record theamount of fuel added.
95Fuel and Refuelling

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 3.After at least three to five tank fill ups,fill the fuel tank and record the currentodometer reading.
4.Subtract your initial odometer readingfrom the current odometer reading.
5.Calculate fuel economy by dividingmiles travelled by gallons used (ForMetric: Multiply litres used by 100, thendivide by kilometres travelled).
Keep a record for at least one month andrecord the type of driving (city ormotorway). This provides an accurateestimate of your vehicle’s fuel economyunder current driving conditions.Additionally, keeping records duringsummer and winter show how temperatureimpacts fuel economy. In general, lowertemperatures mean lower fuel economy.
