Depending on the vehicle, unlock cap 2
using the key.

Useful capacity of fuel tank: approxi-
mately 105 litres or 80 litres (depend-
ing on the vehicle).
Filling with fuel
When the pump cuts out automatically
at the end of the filling procedure, a
maximum of two further filling attempts
may be made to maintain an expansion
volume.

It is essential to use diesel. Make
sure that no water accidentally enters
the fuel tank during filling. The shut-off
system and its surrounding area must
be dust-free. The diesel fuel must be of
a high grade.

After filling, check that the cap and
cover are closed.
Fuel filler cap: this is of a
special type.
If you have to replace it,
make sure it is identical
to the original cap. Contact an ap-
proved Dealer.
Never place the cap near a source
of heat or flame.
Do not wash the filler area with a
high-pressure washer.
Do not mix even small
amounts of petrol (un-
leaded or E85) with diesel.
Do not add additive to the
fuel – otherwise you risk damaging
the engine.
Vehicle fitted with the Stop and
Start function
To fill up with fuel, the engine must
be stopped (and not on standby):
stop the engine (please refer to the
information on “Starting and stop-
ping the engine” in Section 2).
