Filler cap
Open the cap by turning it to the left. When
you feel the spring release in the cap, pull
the cap straight out.
To secure the cap after refueling fit the cap
to the fuel pipe and turn it to the right until
three clicks are heard.
The most effective way to prevent conden-
sation forming in the tank (and thus avoid
possible running problems) is to keep the
tank full.
Refer to page 175 for information regarding
gasoline anti-freeze.
The fuel door has a built in fuel cap holder
slot located on the fuel door. Slide the white
ring on the cap into the slot.
NOTICE
Do not overfill. Fuel should not come right
up the filler pipe as expansion room is
needed when the temperature rises.
Fill to maximum filling capacity.
Stop filling after the first time that the
nozzle trips to shut off the flow of fuel.
Filling capacity can differ between
different fuel stations and outside
temperature. Fuel tank volume when
nozzle trips to shut off, may vary by
0.5 gal. (2 liters).
Do not fill fuel all the way up the filler
pipe. The gasoline must be allowed
room for expansion especially during
hot weather.
