trade name, etc.) to ensure correct operation of
the engine.
Diesel fuels conforming to the EN590, EN16734
and EN16709 standards and containing up to
7%, 10%, 20% and 30% fatty acid methyl ester
respectively. The use of B20 or B30 fuels, even
occasionally, imposes special maintenance
conditions referred to as "Arduous conditions".
Refuelling
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres, in
order to be registered by the fuel gauge.
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.
To refuel in complete safety:

of damage to the engine and fuel system).
Reserve level: approximately 6 litres.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level is reached, this
warning lamp comes on on the instrument
panel, accompanied by an onscreen message and
an audible signal. When it first comes on, about 6
litres of fuel remain in the tank.

are those that meet the B715001 (petrol)
or B715000 (Diesel) standards.
Until sufficient fuel is added, this warning lamp

accompanied by an onscreen message and an
audible signal. When driving, this message and
audible signal are repeated with increasing
frequency as the fuel level drops towards 0.
► With the vehicle unlocked, press the rear-
