When the fuel tank minimum level is  
reached this warning lamp comes on  
on the instrument panel. When it first  
comes on there remains approximately  
5 litres of fuel in the tank.

remove the cap and hook it onto the clip  
located on the inside of the flap,  
fill the tank, but do not continue after  
the 3rd cut-off of the pump; this could  
cause malfunctions.  
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid  
running out of fuel.  
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also to the  
"Checks" section.  
Filling  
A label affixed to the inside of the flap reminds  
you of the type of fuel to be used depending on  
your engine.  
Additions of fuel must be of at least 7 litres, in  
order to be registered by the fuel gauge.  
When you have filled the tank:  
The key cannot be removed from the  
lock until the cap is refitted.  
F

put the cap back in place,  
turn the key to the right, then remove it  
from the cap,  
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.  
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the  
system in STOP mode; you must switch  
off the ignition with the key.  
F
close the flap.
