REFUELLING
Filling up
Refer also to section
Fuel
in the
chapter
Capacities and
specifications
.
To avoid fuel spillage that
could be hazardous to other
road users, always stop refuelling
after the fuel nozzle stops the
second time. Additional fuel will
fill the expansion space in the
fuel tank which could lead to fuel
overflowing.
The fuel system is under
pressure. There is a risk of
injury if the fuel system is
leaking. Do not use any kind of
flames or heat near the fuel
system.
Incorrect fuel
If you fill your vehicle with
incorrect fuel or additives,
do not attempt to start the
engine
. This may lead to engine
damage.
Driving with a catalytic
converter
•
Avoid running out of fuel.
•
Avoid unnecessarily long engine
cranking periods.
•
Do not run the engine with a
disconnected spark plug.
•
Do not push-start or tow-start the
vehicle with the engine at operating
temperature; use jump leads.
•
Never switch off the ignition
while driving.
Parking
It is important to avoid
parking, idling or operating
the vehicle on dry leaves or dry
grass. Even when the engine is
switched off, the exhaust will
continue to radiate a considerable
amount of heat for a short period
creating a potential fire hazard.
