WARNING

Electrostatic buildup can create sparks and

ignite fuel vapors. There is a risk of fire and

explosion.
Always touch the vehicle body before opening

the fuel filler flap or touching the fuel pump

nozzle. Any existing electrostatic buildup is

thereby discharged.

Do not get into the vehicle again during the

refueling process. Otherwise, electrostatic

charge could build up again.

!

Do not use diesel to refuel vehicles with a

gasoline engine. Do not switch on the igni-

tion if you accidentally refuel with the

wrong fuel. Otherwise, the fuel will enter

the fuel system. Even small amounts of the

wrong fuel could result in damage to the

fuel system and the engine. Notify a quali-

fied specialist workshop and have the fuel

tank and fuel lines drained completely.

!

Overfilling the fuel tank could damage the

fuel system.

!

Take care not to spill any fuel on painted

surfaces. You could otherwise damage the

paintwork.

!

Use a filter when refueling from a fuel can.

Otherwise, the fuel lines and/or injection

system could be blocked by particles from

the fuel can.

If you overfill the fuel tank, fuel could spray

out when the fuel pump nozzle is removed.
