Filling with fuelWith the ignition off, insert the nozzle to 
open valve A and insert it fully before 
turning it on 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. The valve  A and its 
surround must remain clean.
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).
