WARNING: The fuel system may

be under pressure. If you hear a hissing

sound near the fuel filler inlet, do not

refuel until the sound stops. Otherwise,

fuel may spray out, which could cause

serious personal injury.

fuel tank filler valve. This could damage

the fuel system. Failure to follow this

instruction could result in fire, personal

injury or death.

WARNING: Do not remove the fuel

pump nozzle from its fully inserted

position when refueling.

WARNING: Stop refueling when

the fuel pump nozzle automatically

FUEL CONSUMPTION

7. Fully close the fuel filler door.

Do not attempt to start the engine if you

have filled the fuel tank with incorrect fuel.

Incorrect fuel use could cause damage not

covered by the vehicle Warranty. Have your

vehicle immediately checked.

We derive CO2 and fuel consumption

figures in laboratory tests according to

Regulation (EC) 715/2007 or CR (EC)

692/2008 and subsequent amendments.

They are intended as a comparison

between makes and models of vehicles.

They are not intended to represent the real

world fuel consumption you may get from

your vehicle.

Real world fuel consumption is governed

by many factors, for example driving style,

high speed driving, stop-start driving, air

conditioning usage, add-on accessories,

payload and towing.

Refueling System Warning(IfEquipped)

If the fuel tank filler valve does not fully

close, a message could appear in the

information display.

Message

Check fuel fill inlet

If the message appears, do the following:

1. Stop your vehicle as soon as it is safe

to do so and switch the engine off.

2. Shift into park (P) or neutral (N).
