Refuelling
Fill the fuel tank at the intermediate
or fast fill rate.
Do not add any more fuel after the
fuel filler first clicks off as fuel blows
back. This allows room for the fuel to
expand inside the tank.
Spilt fuel on the vehicle’s exterior
surfaces can damage the paint.
Wash it off as soon as possible.
