General Information
Fuel Tank Cap
1. Ignition switch key
2. Fuel tank cap
To open the fuel tank cap, lift up the flap
covering the lock itself. Insert the key into the
lock and turn the key clockwise.
To close and lock the cap, push the cap down
into place with the key inserted, until the lock
'clicks' into place. Withdraw the key and close
the key cover.
Filling the Fuel Tank
Avoid filling the tank in rainy or dusty
conditions where airborne material can
contaminate the fuel.
Fill the fuel tank slowly to help prevent
spillage. Do not fill the tank to a level above
the bottom of the filler neck. This will ensure
there is enough air space to allow for fuel
expansion if the fuel inside the tank expands
through absorption of heat from the engine
or from direct sunlight.
1. Maximum fuel level
2. Fuel filler neck
3. Air space
After refuelling always check that the fuel
filler cap is correctly closed and locked.
Caution
Closing the cap without the key inserted
will damage the cap, tank and lock
mechanism.
