Filling with fuel

Petrol version

Using leaded petrol will damage the

antipollution system and may lead to a

loss of warranty.

With the ignition off, fully insert the

nozzle before pulling the trigger to fill

the fuel tank (avoid the risk of splash-

ing).

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.

first be switched off (and not only

put in standby): you MUST switch

off the engine.

It is always advisable to completely fill

the tank.

When the pump stops delivering LPG,

or when the pump flow reduces signif-

icantly, the maximum LPG level has

out the LPG filling procedure, you must

give them the adapter 4.

IMPORTANT: LPG filling

adapter 4

At this point, do not attempt to carry on

filling.

Depending on the country, the use

of a specific adapter is required for

LPG filling.

The filling adapter 4 is provided in

a pouch in the glove box. It may or

may not be present in the vehicle,

depending in which country the ve-

hicle was sold.

Before driving the vehicle to another

country, it is essential to consult an

approved dealer to find out the type

of adapter to use if necessary.

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

filler device.
