Fuel expands when hot.
Fuel escaping from an
overfilled tank could make its way
onto the road surface. This could
cause a fall.
Do not overfill the fuel tank.
Leaded fuel will destroy the
catalytic converter.
Use only unleaded fuel.
Refuel with fuel of the grade
stated below; do not fill the
tank past the bottom edge of
the filler neck.
When refuelling after run-
ning on reserve, make sure
that you top up the tank to a
level above reserve, as other-
wise the sensor will not be able
to register the new level. If the
sensor cannot register the new
level neither the fuel-level read-
ing nor the range readout can be
updated.
