FILLING WITH FUEL
Capacity of the fuel tank: approximately
45 litres.
Low fuel level
When the minimum fuel tank level
is reached, this warning lamp
comes on. When it first comes on,
you have approximately
6 litres
of fuel remaining. Refuel without delay to
avoid running out of fuel. Refuelling must be done with the engine
off.
- Open the fuel filler flap.
- Hold the filler cap with one hand.
- With the other hand, insert the key, then
turn it a third of a turn.
- Remove the filler cap and hang it on the
hook, located on the inside of the filler
flap.
FUEL CIRCUIT DEACTIVATED
In the event of a serious collision, a device
automatically cuts off the fuel supply to the
engine and the vehicle's electrical supply.
It also triggers the automatic unlocking of
the doors and switching on of the courtesy
lights. A message appears on the instrument
panel display according to version.
Turn the key to the STOP position to prevent
discharging of the battery.
Check that there is no smell or leak of fuel
outside the vehicle.
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system in STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the key.
When the fuel filler flap is open,
a safety system prevents sliding
of the side door (Combi).
A label affixed to the inside of the flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be used.
Opening the filler cap may cause a noise
resulting from the inrush of air. This vacuum
is quite normal and results from the sealing
of the fuel system.
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue
after the 3rd cut-off of the nozzle; this could
cause malfunctions.
After filling the fuel tank, lock the filler cap
and close the flap.
