Do not get into the vehicle again during
the refueling process.
Otherwise, electrostatic charge could
build up again.

quality can lead to increased wear as well as
damage to the engine and exhaust system.
#
Only use the fuel recommended.
* NOTE Damage caused by the wrong fuel
Vehicles with a gasoline engine:
Even small amounts of the wrong fuel could
result in damage to the fuel system, the
engine and the emission control system.
