Filling up with fuel

The fuel tank is fitted with a capless fuel filler system. Filling is carried out as follows:
P4-1220-Fuel filling
Open the fuel filler door.

Choose fuel that is approved for use in the car in accordance with the identifier1 on the inside of the fuel filler flap.

See information on approved fuels in the respective section on petrol and diesel.

Insert the pump nozzle in the fuel filler opening. Take care to insert the nozzle properly into the filler pipe. The filler pipe consists of two opening caps. The nozzle must be pushed past both caps before refuelling is started.
Do not overfill the tank but stop refuelling when the pump nozzle cuts out the first time.

 Note

Overfilled fuel in the tank can overflow in hot weather.

 Note

Avoid spilling by waiting approximately 5-8 seconds before carefully removing the nozzle once refuelling is complete.
  1. 1 The identifier, in accordance with the CEN standard prEN16942, is located on the inside of the fuel filler flap, and will soon (within two years) be on corresponding fuel pumps and their nozzles at filling stations throughout Europe.
