General Information
Refuelling
Fuel Tank Cap
1. Fuel tank cap
To open the fuel tank cap, rotate the cap
counter-clockwise and lift clear of the tank
filler neck. To close the cap, align the cap to
the tank filler neck and rotate the cap
clockwise until the cap seals against the filler
neck. In the fully closed position, a ratchet
mechanism prevents over-tightening of the
cap by allowing the outer part of the cap to
turn independently of the internal part.
Warning
To help reduce hazards associated with
fuel handling, always observe the following
fuel safety instructions:
Gasoline (fuel) is highly flammable and can
be explosive under certain conditions.
When refuelling, turn the ignition switch to
the OFF position.
Do not smoke.
Do not use a mobile telephone.
Make sure the refuelling area is well
ventilated and free from any source of
flame or sparks. This includes any
appliance with a pilot light.
Never fill the tank such that the fuel level
rises into the filler neck. Heat from sunlight
or other sources may cause the fuel to
expand and overflow creating a fire
hazard.
After refuelling always check that the fuel
filler cap is correctly closed.
Because gasoline (fuel) is highly
flammable, any fuel leak or spillage, or any
failure to observe the safety advice given
above will lead to a fire hazard which could
cause damage to property, injury to
persons or death.
