FUEL TANK

Capacity of the tank: approxi-
mately 60 litres.
Low fuel level When the minimum level in the
tank is reached, this warning
lamp on the instrument panel
comes on, accompanied by
an audible warning and a message
on the multifunction screen.
When it fi rst comes on, around
7 litres of fuel remain in the tank.
Refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out.
Additions of fuel must be of at least
5 litres to be taken into account by
the fuel gauge. The petrol or diesel engine of your
vehicle is fi tted with a catalytic con-
verter, a device which helps to re-
duce the level of harmful emissions
in the exhaust gases.

For petrol engines, unleaded fuel
is obligatory.
The fi ller neck is narrower, permit-
ting unleaded petrol only.
Opening the fi ller cap may result
in an inrush of air. This vacuum is
entirely normal and results from the
sealing of the fuel system.

 Press on the control A , situated
on the control panel on the left
hand side. The fuel fl ap automat-
ically opens up.

 Take care to select the pump
that corresponds to the correct
fuel type for your vehicle.

 Introduce the nozzle so as to push
in the metal non-return fl ap B.

 Make sure that the nozzle is
pushed in as far as possible
before starting to refuel (risk of
blowback).

 Maintain this position throughout
the refuelling operation.

 Push the fuel fl ap to close it.
Fuel cut-off switch
Your vehicle is equipped with a safety
device which cuts off the fuel supply
in the event of a collision.
Refuelling
If you are fi lling your tank to the
top, do not persist after the third
cut-off; this could cause your
vehicle to malfunction.
After switching off the ignition, the
control A is active for only a few
minutes. If necessary, switch on
the ignition again to reactivate it.

If you have put in fuel that is
wrong for your vehicle, it is es-
sential to have the tank drained
before you start the engine.
