General information
Follow the fuel recommendation prior to refuel‐
ing.

into the filler pipe. Lifting up the filler nozzle dur‐
ing refueling causes:

▷ Reduced return of the fuel vapors.
The fuel tank is full when the filler nozzle clicks
off the first time.
Make sure that the fuel cap is closed properly af‐
ter refueling, otherwise the emissions warning
light may light up.
