Refuelling guide

1. Check the fuel before filling

   Check the fuel-door label and rental contract. If they disagree or you are unsure, ask the rental company before filling.

   レギュラー

   Regular petrol

   ハイオク

   High-octane petrol

   軽油

   Diesel

   A kei (light) car does not necessarily use diesel. 軽油 means diesel, not “fuel for light cars”.

2. Make it safe before opening the cap

   Switch off the engine. No smoking or flames. Touch the static-discharge pad before opening the fuel cap, and follow the station’s safety notices.

3. Follow the machine’s instructions

   Select the fuel you have checked and the amount or full-tank option. Payment order varies: follow the screen or ask an attendant.

4. Hold the nozzle; stop when it stops

   Insert the nozzle fully and keep holding it while filling. Stop at the automatic shutoff; do not top up. If it repeatedly stops too early, ask an attendant.

5. Finish at the pump

   Return the nozzle and close the fuel cap and door securely. Follow the station’s remaining payment steps and collect your receipt.

At a staffed station, ask the attendant to help you refuel.
