On the road 4-45
Fuel and refuelling
Before refuelling, switch off the ignition
and remove the key.
Note: Do not leave the ignition key in the
vehicle; vehicles have been stolen from
garage service/filling stations whilst the
driver is absent from the vehicle. It is
recommended that the vehicle is locked, if
left unattended.
Fuel tank filling
The fuel filler flap release is located on
the floor, outboard of the driver’s seat.
The filler flap is on the right-hand side of
the vehicle.
Pull the lever to release the flap.
Turn the filler cap anti-clockwise until a
snap is heard then pull the cap from the
filler neck. The cap is held by a retaining
strap which can be passed over the hook
on the flap to allow easy access to fill the
tank.
A warning label on the inside of the fuel
filler flap advises type/grade of fuel.
Caution: Vehicles with engines fitted
with catalytic converters must only
be filled with ‘Unleaded Fuel’.
!
WARNING:
1. Fuel vapour is highly flammable
and in confined spaces is
explosive and toxic. In the event of
inadvertent spillage, and before
refuelling, always switch OFF the
engine. Do not use exposed flame
or light. Do not smoke. Do not
inhale fumes.
2. Do not fill the tank so that fuel is
visible in the fuel filler intake
tube. This could cause spillage and
danger from exposed fuel.
When filling, the dispenser nozzle must
be inserted into the filler neck sufficiently
to open the trap door for fuel to flow into
the fuel tank. Fill the tank until the filler
nozzle automatically shuts off. Filling
beyond this point could result in fuel
spillage.
After refuelling, refit the filler cap and
close the flap, which automatically locks
shut.
