Type of fuel used
Models equipped with a gasoline engine are equipped with an automatic octane number correction device, therefore in emergency situations, when it is not possible to refuel with high-quality AI-95 gasoline, it is allowed to refuel the car with regular unleaded fuel with an octane number of at least 91. In this case, there is no need for any additional adjustments to the fuel and ignition systems, but the efficiency of the engine is significantly reduced.
Filling the fuel tank
Warning! Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. Careless handling of gasoline can cause burns or other serious injuries. When filling the fuel tank, turn off the engine and do not bring hot or sparking objects close to the open neck, do not smoke on the territory of the gas station.
All fuel system maintenance operations should be performed outdoors only. If gasoline splashes onto exposed skin or onto the paintwork of body parts, wipe them off immediately with a dry cloth.
The fuel filler neck is located on the right side of the car, so you should approach the fuel dispenser at the gas station with the right side.
Open the fuel filler flap by pulling the handle located next to the driver's seat, to the left of it.
Remove the filler cap by slowly turning it.
Note: When you unscrew the cap, you may hear a characteristic hissing sound caused by fuel vapors escaping from the tank. Some models are equipped with a special holder located on the inside of the hatch and designed to temporarily secure the fuel filler cap while refueling the vehicle.

Refueling should be stopped as soon as the fuel pump automatically switches off. Do not try to fill the tank over the norm - leave free space for the fuel to expand when heated.
Screw the cap onto the fuel filler neck and tighten it properly - you should hear at least two clicks from the cap lock.
Close the hatch and press it to engage the lock catch.
