Refuelling
The fuel tank filler neck with b ayonet cap is
loca ted on the right-hand side of the
vehicle.
To unlock filler cap: insert k ey and turn
anti-clock wise.
The fuel tank has a limiting system which
prevents ov erfilling of the tank.
Correct refuelling is largely dependent on
correct opera tion of the disp ensing p um p:
z
Position dispensing pump nozzle at an
angle to ensure that the pump handle
does not contact the bodywork. Ensure
this position is maintained when
refuelling.
z
Insert nozzle as far as it will go a nd
switch on.
z
After the first automatic c ut-off, do not
fill the tank any further.
Replace the filler cap a nd turn k ey
cloc kwise as far as it will go.
Wipe off any overflowing fuel im media tely.
Fuel cut-off device
The fuel cut-off d evice is located in the
eng ine compartm ent.
If the vehicle is involved in a collision, the
fuel c ut off device automatically isolates
the fuel supp ly.
Prior to restarting first check:
z
tha t the vehicle is driveable,
z
there is no smell of fuel,
z
fuel is not leaking.
To restart the fuel supp ly, reset the cut-off
device by pressing down the button.
Care must b e tak en when dealing w ith
fuel.
Before refuelling it is absolutely vital to
switch off the engine and any heating
system s with combustion chambers.
Fuel is inflamma ble and exp losive,
therefore a void dealing with fuel near
nak ed flam es and doing a nything that
would genera te sparks. N o sm ok ing!
This also applies where the sm ell of fuel
is noticea ble. If the smell of fuel vapour
occ urs in the vehicle itself, have the
cause remedied immediately. We
recommend that you consult your
Vauxhall Approved Repairer.
