General information3
Filling the fuel tank
E00200201347
Fuel tank capacity
47 litres
Refueling
1. Before filling with fuel, stop the engine.
2. The fuel tank filler is located on the rear left side of yourvehicle.
The fuel tank filler door can be opened from inside the
vehicle with the fuel tank filler door release lever located
at the side of the driver’s seat.WARNING!
● Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You
could be burned or seriously injured when handling
it. When refueling your vehicle, always turn off the
engine and keep away from flames, sparks, and
smoking materials. Always ha ndle fuel in well-venti-
lated outdoor areas.
● Before removing the fuel cap, get rid of your body’s
static electricity by touchi ng a metal part on either
the car or the fuel pump. Any static electricity on
your body could create a spark that ignites fuel
vapor.
● Perform the whole refueling process (opening the
fuel tank filler door, removing the fuel cap, etc.) by
yourself. Do not let any other person come near the
fuel tank filler. If you allow another person to help
you and that person is carrying static electricity, fuel
vapor could be ignited.
●Do not move away from the fuel tank filler until
refueling is finished. If you move away and do some-
thing else (for example, clean your windscreen) dur-
ing the refueling process, you could pick up a fresh
charge of static electricity.
●Be careful not to inhale fuel vapor. Fuel contains
toxic substances.
● Keep doors and windows cl osed while refueling the
vehicle. If they are open , fuel vapor could get into
the cabin.
