Fuel tank

Capacity of the tank: approximately 60 litres.



Low fuel level

Refuelling

be registered by the fuel gauge.
Opening the filler cap may result in an inrush of
air. This vacuum is entirely normal and results
from the sealing of the fuel system.

until the automatic opening
of the fuel flap is heard.
This control remains active for a few minutes
after switching off the ignition. If necessary,
switch the ignition on again to reactivate it.

accompanied by an audible warning
and a message in the screen.
When it first comes on, around 6 litres of fuel
remain in the tank.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out.

system in STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the key.
