Fuel tank
Low fuel levelFilling
A label affixed to the inside of the flap reminds
you of the type of fuel to be used depending on
your engine.
When the low fuel level is reached
this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel. When it first comes
on there remains approximately
5 litres of fuel in the tank. To fill the tank safely:

ening the filler cap may create a
noise caused by an inrush of air. This
vacuum is entirely normal and results
from the sealing of the fuel system. With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system in STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the key.
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 50 litres
(petrol) or 48 litres (Diesel); (Depending
on version: approximately 30 litres
(petrol or Diesel)). For the LPG version:
approximately 33 litres.
