FILLING WITH FUEL
Low fuel level
Filling
The fuel tank must be fi lled with
the engine off
.
- Open the fuel fi ller fl ap.
- Insert the key, then turn it a quarter
turn.
- Remove the cap and hook it onto
the clip located on the inside of
the fl ap.
When fi lling with fuel, with the fuel
fi ller fl ap open, ensure that no
one attempts to open the sliding
side door. When the minimum fuel tank
level is reached, this warning
light comes on.
You then have approximately 8 litres
of fuel remaining. Fill up without delay
to avoid running out of fuel.
Never risk driving until you run out of
fuel as this may damage the emissions
control and injection systems.
Quality of the fuel used for
petrol engines
A label affi xed to the inside of the fl ap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be
used.
You must fi ll with at least 5 litres of fuel
for it to be registered by the fuel gauge.
When the fuel fi ller cap is opened,
there may be a slight air suction noise.
This vacuum is entirely normal and is
due to the sealing of the fuel circuit.
When fi lling the fuel tank, do not
continue after the 3
rd cut-off of the
nozzle. This could cause malfunctions.
The capacity of the fuel tank is
approximately 60 litres.
- After fi lling the fuel tank, lock the
cap and close the fl ap.
The petrol engines are perfectly
compatible with E10 type petrol
biofuels (containing 10% ethanol),
conforming to European standards
EN 228 and EN 15376.
E85 type fuels (containing up to 85%
ethanol) are reserved exclusively for
vehicles marketed for the use of this
type of fuel (BioFlex vehicles). The
quality of the ethanol must comply with
European standard EN 15293.
For Brazil only, special vehicles are
marketed to run on fuels containing up
to 100% ethanol (E100 type).
