Fuel and Refueling  
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.  
WARNING: Do not pry open the  
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  
shuts off for the first time. Failure to  
follow this will fill the expansion space  
in the fuel tank and could lead to fuel  
overflowing.

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.
