Capacity of the tank: approximately 60 litres.
Low fuel level

of the lamps switch off immediately,
except for the dipped beam headlamps
if automatic guide-me-home lighting is
activated.
Temporarily keeping the dipped beam
headlamps on after the vehicle's ignition has
been switched off makes the driver's exit easier
when the light is poor.
Switching on

using the lighting stalk.

A fur ther "headlamp flash" switches the
function off.
Switching off

If the lighting is switched on manually after
switching off the ignition, there is an audible
signal when a front door is opened to warn
the driver that they have forgotten to switch
off the vehicle's lighting, with the ignition off.
They switch off automatically after a period
which depends on the state of charge of the
battery (entry to energy economy mode).
Parking lamps
Side markers for the vehicle by illumination of
the sidelamps on the traffic side only.
)
Within one minute of switching off the
ignition, operate the lighting control stalk up
or down depending on the traffic side (for

control stalk upwards; the right hand
sidelamps are on).
This is confirmed by an audible signal and
illumination of the corresponding direction
indicator warning lamp in the instrument panel.
To switch off the parking lamps, return the
lighting control stalk to the central position.
