Practical information07
Compatibility of fuels
Petrol fuels conforming to the EN228 standard
containing up to 5% and 10% ethanol respectively.
Diesel fuels conforming to the EN590, EN16734
and EN16709 standards and containing up to
7%, 10%, 20% and 30% fatty acid methyl ester
respectively. The use of B20 or B30 fuels, even
occasionally, imposes special maintenance
conditions referred to as "Arduous conditions".
Paraffinic Diesel fuel conforming to the EN15940
standard.
The use of any other type of (bio) fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted,
domestic fuel, etc.) is strictly prohibited (risk
of damage to the engine and fuel system).
The only fuel additives authorised for use
are those that meet the B715001 (petrol)
or B715000 (Diesel) standards.
Diesel at low temperature
At temperatures below 0 °C (+32 °F), the
formation of paraffins in summer-type Diesel
fuels could prevent the engine from operating correctly. In these temperature conditions, use
winter-type Diesel fuel and keep the fuel tank
more than 50 % full.
At temperatures below -15 °C (+5 °F) to avoid
problems starting, it is best to park the vehicle
under shelter (heated garage).
Travelling abroad
Certain fuels could damage your vehicle’s engine.
In certain countries, the use of a particular fuel
may be required (specific octane rating, specific
trade name, etc.) to ensure correct operation of
the engine.
For all additional information, consult a dealer.
Refuelling
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 44 litres
(petrol) or 41 litres (Diesel).
Reserve level: approximately 6 litres.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level is reached, this
warning lamp comes on on the instrument
panel, accompanied by an onscreen message and
an audible signal. When it first comes on, about 6
litres of fuel remain in the tank.
Until sufficient fuel is added, this warning lamp
appears every time the ignition is switched on,
accompanied by an onscreen message and an
audible signal. When driving, this message and
audible signal are repeated with increasing
frequency as the fuel level drops towards 0.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out of fuel.
For more information on Running out of fuel
(Diesel), refer to the corresponding section.
Stop & Start
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition.
Refuelling
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres, in
order to be registered by the fuel gauge.
Opening 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.
To refuel in complete safety:
► You must switch off the engine.
►With the vehicle unlocked, press the rear-
central part of the filler flap to open it.

130
Practical information07
► Take care to select the pump that delivers the
correct fuel type for the vehicle's engine (see a
reminder label on the inside of the filler flap).
►  Turn the filler cap to the left.
►  Remove the filler cap and hang it on its carrier
(on the filler flap).
►  Introduce the filler nozzle and push it in as
far as possible before starting to refuel (risk of
blowback).
►  Fill the tank.
Do not continue past the third cut-off of the
nozzle, as this may cause malfunctions.
►  Refit the filler cap.
►  Turn it to the right.
►  Push the filler flap to close it.
If you have put in the wrong fuel for the
vehicle, you must have the fuel tank
drained and filled with the correct fuel before
starting the engine.
The vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter, a
device which helps to reduce the level of harmful
emissions in the exhaust gases.
For petrol engines, you must use unleaded fuel.
The filler neck is narrower, admitting unleaded
petrol nozzles only.
Misfuel prevention (Diesel)
(Depending on country of sale.)
This mechanical device prevents filling the tank of
a Diesel vehicle with petrol.
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention
device is visible when the filler cap is removed.
Operation

When a petrol filler nozzle is inserted into the
fuel filler neck of a Diesel vehicle, it comes into
contact with the flap. The system remains closed
and prevents filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type filler
nozzle.
It remains possible to use a fuel jerrycan
to fill the tank.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be
different in other countries, the presence
of the misfuel prevention device may make
refuelling impossible.
Before travelling abroad, it is advisable to
check with a dealer if the vehicle is suitable
for the distribution equipment of the countries
visited.
Charging system (Electric)
400 V electrical system
The electrical system, which operates at a voltage
of approximately 400 V, is identified by orange
cables, and its components are marked with this
symbol:


An electric vehicle’s power train can
become hot during use and after
switching off the ignition.
Observe the warning messages shown on
labels, particularly inside the flap.
All work on or modifications to the vehicle’s
electrical system (including the traction
battery, connectors, orange cables and
other components visible from the interior or
exterior) is strictly prohibited - risk of severe
burns or potentially fatal electric shock (short-
circuit / electrocution)!
In the event of a problem, always contact a
dealer or a qualified workshop.


This label is intended solely for use by
firefighters responding to an incident
involving the vehicle and for maintenance
technicians.
Never allow water or dust to enter the
connector or charging nozzle - risk of
electrocution or fire!
Never connect / disconnect the charging
nozzle or cable with wet hands - risk of
electrocution!
In the event of an accident or impact
The electrical system or the traction
battery may be seriously damaged in the event
of an accident or impact involving the vehicle
underbody.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so and switch
off the ignition.
Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay.
In the event of exposure to a fire
Immediately exit and evacuate all
passengers from the vehicle. Never attempt to
fight the fire yourself - risk of electrocution!

148In the event of a breakdown08
Warning triangle
As a safety precaution, before leaving your
vehicle to set up and install the triangle, switch
on the hazard warning lamps and put on your high
visibility vest.
Storage

Use the straps on the boot sill trim to stow the
folded triangle or its storage box.
Assembling and placing the
triangle


For versions supplied with a triangle as original
equipment, refer to the illustration above.
For other versions, refer to the assembly
instructions provided with the triangle.
► Put the triangle in place behind the vehicle, as
required by local legislation.
Running out of fuel
(Diesel)
With Diesel engines, the fuel system must be
primed if you run out of fuel.
Before starting to prime the system, it is essential
to put at least 5 litres of Diesel into the fuel tank.
For more information on Refuelling and on
Misfuel prevention (Diesel), please refer
to the corresponding section. ► 
Switch on the ignition (without starting the
engine).
►  Wait around 1 minute and switch off the
ignition.
►  Operate the starter motor to start the engine.
If the engine does not start at the first attempt,
do not keep trying, but restart the procedure.
Tool kit
Set of tools supplied with the vehicle.
Its content depends on your vehicle's equipment:
–

T
emporary puncture repair kit.
–

Spare wheel.
Access to the tools
Depending on version, the tool kit is stored in a
bag or in a storage box in the boot.
