FAMILIARISATION
Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle;
place the heaviest items in the bottom
of the boot, as close as possible to the
rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle
and reduce wind resistance (roof bars,
roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use
a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after
use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres
and refi t your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly,
when cold, referring to the label in the
door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
- before a long journey,
- at each change of season,
- after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the
tyres on any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (en-
gine oil, oil fi lter, air fi lter...) and observe
the schedule of operations recommended
by the manufacturer.
When refuelling, do not continue after
the 3 rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid
any overfl ow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle,
it is only after the fi rst 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see
the fuel consumption settle down to a
consistent average.
Switch off the headlamps and front
foglamps when the level of light does
not require their use.
Avoid running the engine before mov-
ing off, particularly in winter; your ve-
hicle will warm up much faster while
driving.
As a passenger, if you avoid connect-
ing your multimedia devices (fi lm, mu-
sic, video game...), you will contribute
towards limiting the consumption of
electrical energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices be-
fore leaving the vehicle.

ACCESS
FUEL TANK
Capacity of the tank: approxi-
mately 60 litres.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level 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, about 7 litres
of fuel remain in the tank.
Until suffi cient fuel has been
added, this warning lamp appears
every time the ignition is switched
on, accompanied by an audible
warning and a message. Depending
on version, this audible warning
and message are repeated with
increasing frequency as the fuel
level drops towards " 0
".
Refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out. A label on the inside of the fuel fi ller
fl ap reminds you of the type of fuel
to use, depending on your engine
type.
Additions of fuel must be of at least
5 litres to be registered by the fuel
gauge.
Refuelling
If you are fi lling your tank to
the top, do not persist after the
3rd cut-off; this could cause
malfunctions.
With Stop & Start, never refuel with
the system in STOP mode; you
must switch off the ignition with the
key. Opening the fi ller cap may result in
an inrush of air. This is entirely nor-
mal and results from the sealing of
the fuel system.
)
Press control switch A
, situated
on the switch panel on the left of
the dashboard, until the fuel fl ap
opens.
This control switch remains ac-
tive for a few minutes after
switching of the ignition. If nec-
essary, switch the ignition on
again to reactivate it.
)
Take care to select the pump
that delivers the correct type of
fuel 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.
