Nissan Qashqai e-POWER 2023 Owners Manual

6.8.2. How to refuel

image

The fuel tank is not equipped with a fuel-filler cap. After opening the fuel-filler lid, insert the fuel pump nozzle directly into the fuel-filler opening and only to the first notch on the bottom of the nozzle. When the fuel pump nozzle is pulled out, the fuel-filler opening will be sealed.

To refuel:

Be sure to insert the fuel pump nozzle slowly into the fuel-filler opening and only to the first notch on the bottom of the nozzle, before fuelling. Inserting further may cause the fuel pump to stop filling prematurely.

Hold the fuel pump nozzle in position A (shown). Holding the fuel pump nozzle in position B may cause fuel pump nozzle to shut off before the tank is full.

Never move the nozzle during refuelling.

Pull out the nozzle approximately 5 seconds after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off automatically (initial shut-off).

Close the fuel-filler lid after refuelling.

If you need to refuel from a portable fuel container, use the funnel supplied with your vehicle. (See

.)

  • Do not attempt to open the flaps on the fuel-filler opening using any tool other than the fuel pump nozzle.

  • This fuel-filler opening is only conformable to normal fuel pump nozzles at gas stations. Using a nozzle with a small diameter may damage the opening and the fuel system.

  • If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body, flush it away with water to avoid paint damage.

  • Petrol is extremely flammable and highly explosive under certain conditions. You could be burned or seriously injured if it is misused or mishandled. Always stop the e-POWER system and do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks near the vehicle when refuelling.

  • Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off automatically. Continued refuelling may cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel spray and possibly a fire.

  • Never pour fuel into the throttle body to attempt to start your vehicle.

  • Do not fill a portable fuel container in the vehicle or trailer. Static electricity can cause an explosion of flammable liquid, vapour or gas in any vehicle or trailer. To reduce the risk of serious injury or death when filling portable fuel containers:

    • Always place the container on the ground when filling.

    • Do not use electronic devices when filling.

    • Keep the pump nozzle in contact with the container while you are filling it.

    • Use only approved portable fuel containers for flammable liquid.
