Filling
A label affixed to the inside of the flap reminds you of the type of fuel to be used depending on
y
our
eng
ine.
Additions
of fuel must be of at least 7 litres, in
o
rder to be registered by the fuel gauge.The
key cannot be removed from the
l
ock until the cap is refitted.
Opening
the filler cap may create a
n
oise caused by an inrush of air. This
v
acuum is entirely normal, resulting
f
rom the sealing of the fuel system.
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
l
eft,F
r emove the cap and hook it onto the clip
l
ocated 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
m
alfunctions.
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
f
rom the cap,
F
c
lose the flap.
When the fuel tank minimum level is reached this warning lamp comes on o
n the instrument panel. When it first
c
omes on there remains approximately
5 litres
of fuel in the tank.
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system in STOP mode; you must switch
o
ff the ignition with the key.
You
must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
r
unning out of fuel.
