Refueling
Fuel Filler Neck Access
To access the fuel filler neck, the filler door must be unlocked. From outside the vehicle, this can only be done by pressing the unlock
or the lock button on the key fob, in the same way as if opening or closing the doors. If any of the door lock controls is pressed from inside the vehicle, the filler door will still remain open to allow refueling.
- Press the indicated area on the filler door, which is located on the rear left side of the vehicle: the filler door will open completely.
NOTE:
In order to guarantee an easy fuel filler door opening, it has to be pressed in the lower right side; if pressed in any other position, it could remain locked.
Refill the Tank
The fuel filler is sealed by an internal closing tab, which is opened by the fuel nozzle of the service station when refueling.
Only a nozzle of the suitable size can open the closing tab.
- Insert the fuel nozzle fully into the filler.
NOTE:
Only with a correct size nozzle you can refuel.
WARNING!
- To avoid the risk of fire, do not approach the filler with open flames or cigarettes!
To avoid the risk of inhaling noxious fumes, do not breathe close to the fuel filler door, when opened.
Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the vehicle when the fuel filler door is open or the tank is being filled. - Never add fuel when the engine is running. This violates most fire-prevention regulations and may cause the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) to turn on (see “Warning and Indicator Lights” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”).
- Fill the vehicle with fuel. Fuel tank capacity is indicated in the “Refillings Table” in section “Maintenance and Care”. When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the fuel tank is basically full: it is possible to further ensure refueling by enabling the fuel nozzle additional fuel supply until twofold clicks. After the two additional clicks, the amount of fuel allowed by the system is very low, we recommend therefore not to persist further.
Wait approximately 10 seconds before removing the fuel nozzle in order to ensure completed supply of residual fuel and restrict the risk of fouling the fuel filler door area.
Remove the fuel nozzle.
Close the fuel filler door.
CAUTION!
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top off” the fuel tank after filling.
Emergency Refueling Funnel
A funnel is provided in the tool box container (represented in the picture
a tool kit of a Gasoline model with compact spare wheel) for emergency refueling with a gas can (see chapter “Tool Kit” in section “In a Emergency”).
WARNING!
A fire may result if fuel is pumped into a portable container that is inside of a vehicle. You could be burned. Always place gas containers outside the vehicle while filling.
Emergency Fuel Filler Door Release
If you are unable to unlock the fuel filler door using the key fob, use the fuel filler door emergency release fitted in the trunk.
- Open the trunk lid (see “Trunk Lid Operation” in section “Before Starting”).
- Lift the access cover on the left side of the trunk.
- Pull the release cable moderately
to avoid its possible break. It’s not possible to feel or hear the unlocking of the fuel filler door actuator.
- Then open normally the fuel filler door.
