158 Starting and driving NOTICE WARNING Refueling 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. If a fire starts while you are refueling, do not remove the nozzle. Shut off the flow of fuel by shutting off the pump or by notifying the station attendant. Leave the area immediately. 1 Switch off the engine. 2 Open the filler cap, located in the righthand rear fender. 3 Insert the fuel pump nozzle beyond the flange on the filler pipe and let the first mark (a ring, a pimple or the first springcoil) rest on the flange. Do not withdraw the nozzle while filling is in progress. 4 Cease refueling the first time the pump stops, and wait a few seconds after you´ve finished pumping before you remove the nozzle. Filler cap Filler cap To remove the filler cap, turn it slowly to the left (counterclockwise). The filler cap has a spring in it; if you let go of the cap too soon, it will spring back to the right. When you put the filler cap back on, turn it to the right (clockwise) until you hear three clicks. Make sure you fully install the cap. 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 185 for information regarding gasoline anti-freeze.
