FUEL TANK
Capacity of the tank: approximately
60 litres.
When the low fuel level in the
tank is reached, this warning
lamp comes on in the instru-
ment panel, accompanied by
an audible warning and an alert
message. When it fi rst comes
on, around 6 litres
of fuel re-
main in the tank.
Until suffi cient fuel has been added,
every time the ignition is switched on,
this warning lamp appears, accompa-
nied by an audible signal and an alert
message. Depending on version, when
driving, this audible signal and the dis-
play of this alert message are repeated
with increasing frequency, as the level
drops towards 0
.
You must refuel as soon as possible to
avoid running out.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also
to "Checks".
Low fuel level
Refuelling
Additions of fuel must be of at least
5 litres to be registered by the fuel gauge.
Opening the fi ller cap may result in an
inrush of air. This vacuum is entirely
normal and results from the sealing of
the fuel system.
If you have put in the wrong
fuel for your vehicle, you must
have have the tank drained and
refi lled with the correct fuel be-
fore you start the engine.

opening of the fuel fl ap is heard.
This control remains active for a few
minutes after switching off the igni-
tion. If necessary, switch the ignition
on again to reactivate it.
If you are fi lling your tank to the top,
do not persist after the third cut-off;
this could cause your vehicle to mal-
function.
)
Take care to select the pump that
delivers the correct fuel for your ve-
hicle.
)
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 while refuel-
ling.

LIGHTING CONTROLS
System for selection and control of the
various front and rear lamps providing
the vehicle's lighting.
Main lighting
The various front and rear lamps of the
vehicle are designed to adapt the driver's
visibility progressively according to the
climatic conditions:
- sidelamps, to be seen,
- dipped beam headlamps to see
without dazzling other drivers,
- main beam headlamps to see clear-
ly when the road is clear.
Additional lighting
Other lamps are installed to fulfi l the re-
quirements of particular driving conditions:
- rear foglamps,
- front fog lamps with cornering lighting,
- directional headlamps for improved
visibility when cornering,
- daytime running lamps to be more
visible during the day,
- guide-me-home and welcome light-
ing to facilitate access to the vehicle,
- parking lamps as vehicle position
markers.
Programming
Various automatic lighting control
modes are also available depending on
whether the following options are fi tted:
- guide-me-home lighting,
- welcome lighting,
- daytime running lamps,
- directional lighting,
- automatic illumination of headlamps.
In some weather conditions (e.g.
low temperature or humidity),
the presence of misting on the
internal surface of the glass of
the headlamps and rear lamps
is normal; it disappears after the
lamps have been on for a few
minutes.

regulations,
by illumination of the dipped beam
headlamps with the sidelamps and
number plate lamps; this function
cannot be deactivated.
- for other countries where it is pro-
vided,
by the use of dedicated lamps; this
function can be activated or deac-
tivated via the vehicle confi guration
menu.

ment panel, multifunction screen, air

power of their beams may dazzle
other drivers. They should only
be used in fog or falling snow.

should switch on the foglamps
and dipped beam headlamps
manually, as the sunshine sen-
sor may detect suffi cient light.

and illumination of the corresponding
direction indicator warning lamp in the
instrument panel.

the lighting control stalk to the central
position.

ately, except for the dipped beam
headlamps if automatic guide-
me-home lighting is activated.
Manual guide-me-home lighting

headlamps on after the vehicle's igni-
tion has been switched off makes the
driver's exit easier when the light is poor.

driver that they have forgotten to
switch off the vehicle's lighting, with
the ignition off.

period which depends on the state
of charge of the battery (entry to en-
ergy economy mode).
