If the car is parked directly after a refuelling op-
eration, on restart the pointer of the gas gauge may
not show exactly the same level as immediately after

but a reduction in pressure due to the cooling of the
gas in the natural gas container after refuelling.
Troubleshooting
Unknown refuelling system
Natural gas refuelling may vary from station to sta-
tion. If refuelling with natural gas at a station is unfa-
miliar to you, get someone to instruct you or allow
the fuelling operation to be carried out by the station
staff.
Gas leakage
If a gas leak is suspected (perceptible odour), pro-
ceed as follows.
› Stop the vehicle.
› Switch off the ignition.
› Extinguish cigarettes, switch off spark-producing
or incendiary items and remove them from the ve-
