148 Starting and driving 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. Filler cap 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 condensation 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. Filler cap removed for refueling 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.
