Fuel and refuelling
This means that the vehicle will not start
or run correctly until the wax has melted.
To avoid this problem, if a prolonged or
overnight stay is planned in an alpine
region then it is strongly recommended
that the vehicle carry enough fuel to get
to the Alpine region and is then refuelled
locally so that at least 50% of the fuel
volume is Alpine mix diesel.
At the time of publication, Alpine mix
diesel is available at the following BP
service stations:
Victoria
Bright, Corryong and Mansfield
NSW
Jindabyne, Thredbo, Tumut, Talbingo,
Adaminaby and Cooma.
Please confirm current availability at the
time of your trip.

Driving with a catalytic
converter
CAUTIONS
Avoid running out of fuel.
Do not crank the engine for long
periods.
Do not run the engine when a
spark plug lead is disconnected.
Do not push-start or tow-start
your vehicle. Use booster cables.
See
Using booster cables (page 111).
Do not switch the ignition off when
driving.
Parking
WARNING
Do not park your vehicle over
dry leaves or dry grass. The
exhaust will continue to radiate a
considerable amount of heat after you
have switched the engine off. This is a
potential fire hazard.
FUEL FILLER FLAP
WARNINGS
Take care when refuelling to avoid
spilling any residual fuel from the
fuel pipe nozzle.
We recommend that you wait at
least 10 seconds before removing
the fuel pipe nozzle to allow any residual
fuel to drain into the fuel tank.
CAUTION
If you use a high pressure spray
to wash your vehicle, only spray
the fuel filler flap briefly from a distance
not less than 20 centimetres.
Note:
Central locking also locks and
unlocks the fuel filler flap. See Locking
and unlocking (page 27).
