Note: Fuel nozzles for leaded petrol dispensers (old style speakers) had an increased diameter, therefore, to prevent accidental filling with such gasoline, the diameter of the filler neck was made smaller than that of the nozzle tips of these dispensers.
Warning: Do not smoke or use open flames while refueling.
Helpful tips: If the gas station where you were planning to fill up your car has just drained fuel from a tanker, it is better to look for another pump or return to it in a few hours, since not all pumps are equipped with good cleaning filters and it takes time for all the dirt in the tank with gasoline to settle. Fill up your car at proven gas stations. The power and durability of the engine directly depend on the quality of the gasoline used.
The fuel filler cap is located on the right rear fender under a hinged cover.
1. Press on the rear edge of the fuel tank hatch cover - the cover will open slightly under the action of the spring.
Note: The fuel filler flap can only be opened when the doors are unlocked.
2. Open the fuel tank hatch.
3. Turn the fuel tank cap counterclockwise...
4. ...and take it off.
Warning: Since fuel vapors can create increased pressure inside the tank, loosen the filler cap slowly. This will allow the pressure inside the tank to equalize with the atmospheric pressure. If you see steam coming out from under the cap or hear a hissing sound, stop loosening the cap and wait until these sounds stop. Otherwise, fuel may spill out of the tank.
5. Secure the cork into the holder on the inside of the lid.
Note: To prevent loss, the plug is attached to the tank neck with a plastic tie. The tie will also prevent the hatch cover from being closed unless the plug is screwed into the tank neck.
6. Insert the nozzle of the fuel dispenser into the filler neck of the fuel tank and fill the car. If you are filling the car from a canister, then before filling, insert a funnel into the filler neck of the fuel tank and pour gasoline from the canister.
Warning: Do not refuel the vehicle after the fuel tap has automatically shut off or after gasoline appears in the filler neck of the fuel tank when refueling with a tap not equipped with an automatic shut-off system. Failure to follow this recommendation may result in excess gasoline spilling out of the fuel tank when the vehicle is parked.
7. After filling, screw the cap clockwise until it clicks. The cap is equipped with a torque limiter, so it will scroll after the click.
8. Close the lid and remove any gasoline spills with a rag.
