closing of the tailgate.
Allow the motor to cool down for
ten minutes without opening or clos-ing the tailgate.
Closing in manual back-up mode re-
mains possible.
To avoid risk of injury, make sure
that no one is in the vicinity of the
boot while opening and closing.
If the tailgate is carrying extra
weight (snow, bicycle carrier, etc.)
there is a risk of it closing under
this load. Support the tailgate or
fi rst unload the bicycle carrier or
clear the snow.
When using an automatic car wash, don’t forget to lock the vehicle so
as to avoid any risk of motorised
opening of the tailgate.

When the minimum level
in the tank is reached,
this warning lamp comes
on in the instrument
panel, accompanied by an audible

cause your vehicle to malfunction.


While you are refuelling, the engine
must be stopped and the ignition
switched off.


For a petrol engine with a cata-
lytic converter, unleaded fuel is
compulsory.



Opening the fuel flap

Additions of fuel must be of at least
5 litres to be taken into account by
