they are not stuck to the windscreen
(including the central area located

and the rear screen before starting
the wipers (risk of motor overheat -
ing).
Check the condition of the wiper
blades. You are responsible for their
service life:
– they must remain clean: clean
the blades, windscreen and
rear screen regularly with soapy
water;
– do not use them when the wind-
screen or rear screen are dry;
– free them from the windscreen or
rear screen when they have not
been used for a long time.
In all cases, replace them as soon
as they begin to lose efficiency: ap-
proximately once a year.
Before using the rear wiper, check
that no object obstructs the travel of
the blade.
Do not use the wiper arm to open or
close the tailgate.

Fuel grade
Use a high grade fuel that complies
with the standards currently in force in
each country.
Diesel version
It is essential to use diesel fuel that
conforms to the specifications given on
the label inside fuel filler flap A.
Make sure that no water accidentally
enters the fuel tank during filling. The
closure and its surrounding area must
be dust-free.
Fuel tank (filling with fuel)
Filling the tank
To open cover A, place your finger into
recess B.
When filling, use the cap holder 1 on
the cover A to secure the cap 2.

After filling, check that the cap and
cover are closed.
Fuel filler cap: this is spe-
cific.
If you have to replace it,
make sure it is identical
to the original cap. Contact an ap -
proved Dealer.
Never place the cap near a source
of heat or flame.
Do not wash the filler area with a
high-pressure washer.

Useful capacity of the fuel tank:
55 litres approximately.
The engine 1.2 TCe has a fuel tank
capacity of approximately 40 litres or
55 litres (depending on the vehicle).
Do not mix even small
amounts of petrol (un -
leaded or E85) with diesel.
Do not use ethanol-based
fuel if your vehicle is not compatible
with this fuel.
Do not add additive to the fuel –
otherwise you risk damaging the
engine.

Filling up with fuel
With the ignition switched off, insert the
nozzle so that the valve is open and
fully insert the nozzle before engaging
it in order to fill the tank (risk of splash -
back).
Keep the nozzle in this position through -
out the entire filling operation.
Petrol versions
Using leaded petrol will damage the
antipollution system and may lead to a
loss of warranty.
To ensure that the fuel tank is not filled
with leaded petrol, the fuel tank filler
neck contains a restrictor fitted with a
foolproof system which only allows
the nozzle for unleaded petrol to be
used (at the pump).
Petrol and diesel versions
When the pump cuts out automatically
at the end of the filling procedure, a
maximum of two further filling attempts
may be made, as there must be suffi -
cient space in the fuel tank to allow for
expansion.
Petrol version
It is essential to use unleaded petrol.
The octane rating (RON) must con -
form with the specifications given on
the label inside fuel filler flap A . Refer
to the information on “Engine specifica-
tions” in Section 6.
Special features of vehicles running
on ethanol-based fuel:
It is essential to use unleaded petrol or
fuel containing a maximum of 85% eth-
anol (E85).
To make it easier to start the engine in
very cold conditions, it is recommended
to use unleaded petrol or, on equipped
vehicles, to use the heater integrated in
the engine.
In this case, connect the special end of
the extension piece supplied into the
socket integrated into the radiator grille
and the other end into a 220V socket
for at least 6 hours before starting.
Note: when using ethanol-based fuel,
you may notice over-consumption.
FUEL TANK (2/2)
No modifications what -
soever are permitted on
any part of the fuel supply
system (electronic unit,
wiring, fuel circuit, injector, protec -
tive covers, etc.) as this may be
dangerous (unless undertaken by
qualified Network personnel).
Persistent fuel odour
If you notice a persistent
fuel odour you should:
– stop the vehicle as soon as traf-
fic conditions allow and switch off
the ignition;
– switch on the hazard warning
lights and ask your passengers to
leave the vehicle and stay clear
of the traffic;
– contact an approved Dealer.
