Refueling

Refueling

Before refueling, deactivate drive readi-

ness. When handling fuel, always observe

all applicable precautionary measures and reg-

ulations. Never transport reserve fuel contain-

ers in the vehicle. These could become leaky

and cause an explosion or a fire in an accident.<

Refueling

The BMW ActiveHybrid X6 is equipped with a

special fuel tank. It is designed for special

requirements that arise in the hybrid operation

of the vehicle, e.g. alternating driving with the

combustion engine or electric motors. Fuel

vapors can cause pressure to build up in the fuel

tank, which is reduced before the fuel tank

catch is opened.

Preparation

Unlocking fuel filler door

1. Deactivate drive readiness, refer to

page 15.

2. Push the button to start pressure compen-

sation.

3. Messages indicate that the fuel filler door

has been released and refueling is possible.

In rare cases, the pressure decrease can

take several seconds. A message on the

Control Display indicates when the fuel filler

door has been released.

4. Open the fuel filler door.

If the fuel filler door is not opened within

10 minutes after the fuel tank catch is

released, the fuel filler door locks again.

Press the button again.

Opening fuel filler door

1. Open the fuel filler door. To do this, briefly

press the lower edge.

The fuel filler door can only be opened if the

fuel tank catch has been released.

2. Turn the fuel filler cap counterclockwise.

3. Place the fuel filler cap in the bracket

attached to the fuel filler door.

Closing

Fit the cap and turn it clockwise until you clearly

hear a click.

Do not crush the band attached to the

cap; otherwise, the cap may not properly

seal and fuel vapors can escape.<

Manually releasing fuel filler door

If an electrical malfunction should occur and the

system does not release the fuel filler door, you

can unlock the fuel filler door manually.
