  • Do not overfill the tank but fill until the pump nozzle cuts out.

 Note

Excess fuel in the tank can overflow in hot weather.

Filling with a fuel can1

When filling with a fuel can, use the funnel located under the floor hatch in the cargo area.

Make sure you insert the funnel's pipe firmly into the filler pipe. The filler pipe has an openable cover and the funnel's pipe must be slid past the cover before filling can begin.
