FUEL TANK (2/5)  
Petrol version  
Filling up with petrol or diesel  
With the ignition off, insert the nozzle to  
open the valve and insert it fully before  
turning it on to fill the fuel tank (risk of  
splashing).  
It is essential to use unleaded petrol.  
The octane rating (RON) should match  
the information given on the label B lo-  
cated inside the fuel filler flap.  
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.  
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 difficult  
or even impossible to start the engine.  
To avoid this problem, use unleaded  
petrol.  
Make sure that no water enters the fuel  
tank during filling. The valve and its sur-  
round must remain clean.  
Note: you may notice an increase in  
fuel consumption with this type of fuel.  
Persistent fuel odour  
If you notice a persistent  
fuel odour you should:  
Petrol versions  
Using leaded petrol will damage the  
antipollution system and may lead to a  
loss of warranty.  
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.).  
– stop the vehicle as soon as traf-  
fic conditions allow and switch off  
the ignition;  
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).  
– switch on the hazard warning  
lights and ask your passengers to  
leave the vehicle and stay clear  
of the traffic;  
– contact an approved Dealer.

Useful capacity of fuel tank: approx.  
32 litres.  
Filling up with LPG  
Engage the handbrake, stop the engine,  
switch off the ignition and switch off the  
lights.

Always respect the safety instructions  
given at filling stations.  
When filling the tank, add the desired  
quantity of LPG.  
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 2,  
as supplied in a pouch in the glove box.  
At this point, do not attempt to carry on  
filling.  
If you exceed the LPG tank  
capacity when filling com-  
pletely, please go to an ac-  
credited garage or your  
authorised dealer to check the auto-  
matic filler device.  
IMPORTANT:  
The adapter 2 depends on the coun-  
try in which the vehicle is sold.  
Before travelling to another country,  
please consult an authorised dealer.
