Opening the fuel filler flap
Switch off the fuel-driven heater before
refuelling.
Open the fuel filler flap with the button on the
lighting panel, see page 47. The engine must
be switched off before the flap can be
opened. The fuel flap is located on the rear
right wing.
Closing
Push in the flap until you hear a click.
Fuel cap
– Turn the fuel cap until an obvious resist-
ance is felt.
– Turn past the resistance until it comes to a
stop.
– Take out the cap.
– Hang up the cap on the inside of the fuel
filler flap.
Opening from the cargo area
Manual opening of the fuel filler flap is easier
when the roof is closed, and is used when it
is not possible to open it from the passenger
compartment.
Remove the cover over the lamp housing on
the right-hand side of the cargo area.
Pull the cord hanging on the hook.
When the fuel filler flap has opened, refit the
cord and cover.
Filling up with fuel
Do not overfill the tank but fill until the pump
nozzle cuts out.
Fuel of a lower quality than that specified on
page 243 should not be used as engine
power and fuel consumption can be nega-
tively affected.

WARNING
Fuel which spills onto the ground can be
ignited by the exhaust fumes.
Switch off the fuel-driven heater before
starting to refuel.
Never carry an activated mobile phone
when refuelling as the ring signal could
cause spark build-up and ignite petrol
fumes, leading to fire and injury.
