 remove the cap and hook it onto the clip located on the inside of the flap,  fill the tank, but do not continue after the 3rd cut- off of the pump ; this could cause malfunctions.
When you have filled the tank:  put the cap back in place,  turn the key to the right, then remove it from the cap,  close the flap.

on the instrument panel. When it first comes on there remains approximately 5 litres of fuel in the tank. You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out of fuel. If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also to the "Checks" section.
