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.
