FUEL TANK (2/6)

Fuel grade

Always use a high-grade fuel that

complies with the legislation in force

in each country. It must conform to the

specifications given on label C inside

the fuel filler flap.

Vehicles running on ethanol-based

fuel

Always use unleaded petrol or fuel

containing a maximum of 85 percent

ethanol (E85).

In very cold conditions, it may be very

difficult or even impossible to start the

engine.

Refer to the “Engine specifications”

table in Section 6.

Note: you may notice an increase in

fuel consumption with this type of fuel.

Petrol version

It is essential to use unleaded petrol.

The octane rating (RON) must conform

to the specifications given on the label

inside fuel filler flap C.

When the fuel is changed the engine

must adjust, which may cause minor in-

conveniences for a few minutes (longer

starting times, cutting out, etc.).

Diesel versions

It is essential to use diesel fuel that con-

forms to the specifications given on the

label inside fuel flap C.

Do not mix even small

amounts of petrol (un-

leaded or E85) with diesel.

Do not use ethanol-based

fuel if your vehicle is not compatible

with this fuel.

Do not add additive to the fuel other-

wise you risk damaging the engine.

FUEL TANK (3/6)

Filling with fuel

Insert the nozzle to open the valve and

insert it fully before turning it on to fill

the fuel tank (risk of splashing).

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).

Keep the nozzle in this position

throughout 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 and its sur-

round must remain clean.

Persistent fuel odour

If you notice a persistent

smell of fuel you should:

– stop the vehicle when traffic

conditions allow it and switch off

the ignition;

– switch on the hazard warning

lights and ask your passengers to

leave the vehicle and stay clear

of the traffic;

Vehicle fitted with the Stop and

Start function

– contact an authorised dealer.

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).

LPG versions

4

Useful capacity of fuel tank: approx.

34 litres.

Filling up with LPG

Engage the handbrake, stop the engine,

switch off the ignition and switch off the

lights.

4

Always respect the safety instructions

given at filling stations.

It is always advisable to completely fill

the tank.

When the pump stops delivering LPG,

or when the pump flow reduces sig-

nificantly, the maximum LPG level has

been reached.

Filling stations without self-service

If service station staff fill your vehicle

with LPG, give them a filling adapter 4,

as supplied in a pouch in the glovebox.

At this point, do not attempt to carry on

filling.

IMPORTANT:

If you exceed the LPG tank capacity when filling completely, please go

to an accredited garage or your authorised dealer to check the automatic

filler device.

The adapter 4 depends on the

country in which the vehicle is sold.

Before travelling to another country,

please consult an authorised dealer.

When the pump finishes or if it has dif-

ficulties operating, this means that the

maximum tank fill level (80%) has been

The filling will stop as soon as you re-

lever (a small amount of gas may be re-

leased), lift the pistol and place it on the

Open your vehicle’s tank cover and

unscrew the cap 5 from the end piece

ing how to refill using the LPG distribu-

tor.

fuel circuit, injector, protection

ous (such work must be undertaken

Priming bulb

(diesel version)

After a breakdown caused by com-

pletely running out of fuel, the system

must be reprimed before the engine is

restarted:

Note: the bulb is always located on the

right-hand side of the engine compart-

ment.

The engine may be hot

when working in close prox-

imity. In addition, the engine

cooling fan may come on at

any moment.

Operate the priming bulb 8 until the

fuel flows through the hose 7.

If the engine does not start after several

attempts, contact an approved dealer.
