For the first few miles after pressing
the reset key you will notice that the
range increases as you travel. This
range takes into account the average
fuel consumption since the last time the
reset button was pressed. Therefore,
the average fuel consumption may de-
crease when:
– the vehicle stops accelerating;
– the engine reaches its operating
temperature (if the engine was cold
when the reset key was pressed);
– when driving from an urban area
onto the open road.
Automatic resetting of the
journey parameters
Resetting occurs automatically when
the maximum value of any of the pa -
rameters is exceeded.

Filling with fuel
Insert the nozzle to open valve D (de -
pending on the vehicle) and insert it
fully before activating it to fill the fuel
tank (risk of splashing).
Keep the nozzle in this position through -
out the entire filling operation.
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.
Make sure that no water enters the fuel
tank during filling. Valve D (depending
on the vehicle) and its surrounding area
must be kept clean.

persistent smell of
fuel
If you notice a persistent
smell of fuel 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 to keep
away from traffic;
– contact an approved Dealer.
Vehicles running on ethanol -based
fuel
It is essential to use unleaded petrol or
fuel containing a maximum of 85% eth-
anol (E85).
In very cold conditions, it may be very
difficult or even impossible to start the
engine. To avoid this problem, use un-
leaded petrol or, on equipped vehicles,
use the heater integrated in the engine:
connect the special end of the exten -
sion piece supplied into the socket in -
tegrated into the radiator grille and the
other end into a 220V socket for at least
6 hours before starting.
NB: You may notice an increase in fuel
consumption with this type of fuel. 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).
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 any additives to the fuel,
you risk damaging the engine.
