GENERAL
MAINTENANCE
Filling the
tank

The
filler neck is on the left-hand side of the

vehicle.

The
tank holds about 80 litres. Trouble-free
refuelling
calls
for correct
use
of filler
nozzle.

•
Insert
nozzle
fully into tank neck and do not
tilt
it.

On
vehicles with a catalytic converter the

spring-loaded
flap below the filler opening
must be
pressed
open with the filler
nozzle.

This
should
also
be noted when using a pet­ rol can to
fill
the tank. As soon as the
correctly
oper­

ated
automatic
nozzle
switches

off for the
first
time,
the
tank
is
full.

Do not try
then
to put
more
fuel
in
because the expansion space in
tank
will
be
filled
- the
fuel
can
then
over­

flow
when
it becomes
warm.

After
filling tank, screw cap on tightly and
lock
it.

Note

•
Never
drive
until
the
fuel
tank
is completely
empty
on vehicles
with

a catalyst. The
irregular
fuel
supply
can cause misfiring. This
allows
un-
burnt
fuel
into
the exhaust system.
Which can cause
overheating
and damage to the catalyst.

•
When carrying a spare can of petrol on the vehicle, official regulations must be ob­
served.
For safety reasons we advise you not to carry a spare can of petrol. In an
acci­

dent the can could become damaged and petrol
escape.
