Safety First
Operating instructions
Practical tips
Technical Data
– Screw on the cap of the gas filler neck .
– Close the tank flap.When the hose is removed from the tank, a small amount of LPG may spill out
⇒.
The LPG tank ⇒fig. 161 in the spare wheel well has a capacity of 39 litres. If
the outside temperatures are very low, it may not be possible to completely
fill the LPG tank.
Pump attachments
There are a variety of types of LPG pump, and the methods of use may vary.
Therefore, let the pump operator fill the tank when refuelling for the first time
or fill from another pump.
Noises when refuelling with LPG
When refuelling with LPG, noises may be heard. These noises are insignifi-
cant.
WARNING
Failure to refuel or handle LPG in the correct way could result in a fire, cause
an explosion or lead to injury.•LPG is a highly explosive and inflammable substance. It may cause
severe burns and other injury.•Switch off the engine before refuelling.•Always disconnect mobile phones and any other radiophony appli-
ances, as electromagnetic waves may produce sparks and cause a fire.•Do not remain in the vehicle while refuelling. If it is absolutely neces-
sary to enter the vehicle, close the door and touch a metal surface before
touching the attachment again. This will prevent the generation of static
electricity and any possible fires while refuelling.
•Small quantities of LPG may leak out after refuelling. If LPG comes into
contact with skin, there is a risk of freezing.•Do not smoke and always keep bare flames away from the tank during
refuelling. Failure to do so may lead to an explosion.
