Filling

A label affixed to the inside of the flap reminds
you of the type of fuel to be used depending on
your engine.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres,
in order to be taken into account by the fuel
gauge.
The key cannot be removed from the
lock until the cap is refitted.
Opening the filler cap may create a
noise caused by an inrush of air. This
vacuum is entirely normal, resulting
from the sealing of the fuel system. To fill the tank safely:


)
the engine must be switched off,


)
open the fuel filler flap,

)
inser t the key in the cap, then turn it to the
left,
)
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.
When the fuel tank minimum level
is reached this warning lamp comes
on 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.
