Practical information07
► To open the filler flap, press the flap opening
button for more than 2 seconds or, with the
vehicle unlocked, press the rear of the filler flap
(depending on version).
Rechargeable hybrid vehicles
After pressing the button on the
dashboard, the filler flap may not open for
several minutes. A sound is emitted when the
filler flap opens.
If the flap becomes stuck, press and hold
the button on the dashboard for more than
3 seconds.


The filler cap is built into the flap.
►  Select a pump that delivers the correct fuel
type for the vehicle's engine (see a reminder label
on the inside of the filler flap).


►  Insert the filler nozzle and push it in as far as
possible before starting to refuel (to minimise the
risk of splashing).
►  Fill the tank.
Do not continue after the nozzle’s third cut-out.
Doing so may cause malfunctions.
►  Push the fuel filler flap to close it.
The vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter,
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, allowing only unleaded
petrol nozzles to be inserted.
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.
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 introduced 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.
The misfuel prevention device does not
prevent filling with a jerrycan, regardless
of the fuel type.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be
different in other countries, the presence
of the misfuel prevention device may make
refuelling impossible.
