Fuel and refuelling

147

This feature prevents the fuel system from
running dry, which could cause damage to the
vehicle. If the gauge indicates low fuel or the
warning indicator illuminates, the fuel tank
should be refuelled as soon as possible at the
next filling station with at least 4 litres (0.9
gallons) of fuel.

If the system protection function has activated,
the vehicle must firstly be refuelled, then
restarted using the following procedure:

1. With the brake pedal pressed, press and

hold the engine START/STOP button and
crank the engine for five seconds.

2. Release the START/STOP button.

3. With the brake pedal pressed, press and

release the START/STOP button to crank
the engine. The engine should start within
approximately five seconds.

Note: If the engine does not start, pause for ten
seconds with the ignition in convenience mode
before repeating the procedure from the
beginning.

Do not crank the engine for longer than
30 seconds continuously.

FUEL FILLER FLAP

The vehicle must be unlocked using the Smart
Key before the filler flap can be opened.

To open the fuel filler flap, press and release
the rear of the flap to unlatch and then pull the
flap open.

To close the filler flap, push the flap until
latched closed.

Note: The filler flap will only be locked closed
when the vehicle is centrally locked.

FUEL FILLER

When refuelling ensure that all
windows, doors, and sunroof are fully
closed, particularly if young children
or animals are in the vehicle.

Do not attempt to fill the tank to its
maximum capacity. If the vehicle is to
be parked on a slope, in direct
sunlight or high ambient temperature,
expansion of the fuel could cause
spillage.

Check the fuel pump information
carefully to ensure that you are putting
the correct fuel into the vehicle.

If the vehicle is filled with incorrect fuel,
it is essential that you seek qualified
assistance before you start the engine.

Fuel station pumps are equipped with
automatic cut-off sensing to avoid fuel spillage.
Fill the tank until the filler nozzle automatically
cuts off the supply and do not attempt to fill the
tank beyond this point.

Note: Filling station pumps used for diesel
commercial vehicles deliver fuel at a higher
rate than normal. The higher fill rate can cause
premature cut-off and may cause fuel spillage.
Therefore, it is recommended that only
standard light vehicle pumps are used.

DIESEL MISFUELLING PROTECTION
DEVICE

When the misfuelling device is
activated it may cause fuel to be
discharged from the filler neck.

If the narrow filler nozzle fitted to pumps
delivering unleaded petrol is fully inserted into
the filler neck, the misfuel protection device will
activate.
