Fuel tank
Low fuel level
When the fuel tank minimum level is
reached this warning lamp comes on
on the instrument panel. When it first
comes on there remains approximately
5 litres of fuel in the tank.
Filling
a label affixed to the inside of the flap reminds
y ou of the type of fuel to be used depending on
your engine.
ad
ditions of fuel must be of at least 7 litres, in
order to be registered by the fuel gauge. To fill the tank safely:
F
t
he engine must be switched off,
F
o
pen the fuel filler flap,
F
i
nsert the key in the cap, then turn it to
the left,
F
r
emove the cap and hook it onto the clip
located on the inside of the flap,
F
f
ill the tank, but do not continue after the
3rd cut- off of the pump ; this could cause
malfunctions.
When you have filled the tank:
F
p
ut the cap back in place,
F
t
urn the key to the right, then remove it
from the cap,
F
c
lose the flap.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out of fuel.
If you run out of fuel (
di
esel), refer also to the
"Checks" section. Fuel tank capacity: approximately
50 litres (petrol) or 46 litres (Diesel) or
37
litres (LPG); (Depending on version:
approximately 30 litres (petrol or Diesel)).
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system in STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the key. The key cannot be removed from the
lock until the cap is refitted.
op
ening the filler cap may create a
noise caused by an inrush of air. This
vacuum is entirely normal, resulting
from the sealing of the fuel system.
