Practical information
Fuel system cut-off
Fuel
In the event of a collision, a device
automatically cuts off the fuel supply to the
engine and the vehicle's electrical supply.
It switches on the hazard warning lamps and
the courtesy lamps, as well as unlocking the
doors.
The capacity of the tank is about 90 litres.
Fuel tanks of different capacities may be fitted,
60 and 120 litres, depending on the engine.
Low fuel level
When the E (Empty) level is
reached, this warning lamp lights up.
Following an impact and before restoring
the supply, check that there is no leak of
fuel or sparks so as to avoid any risk of
fire.
You then have around 10 to 12 litres in
reserve, depending on the capacity of the tank
and the engine.
F Remove the black cap and hook it onto the
clip located on the inside of the flap.
Refuel without delay to avoid running out of
fuel.
A label inside the fuel flap reminds you of the
type of fuel to use.
When filling the tank to the top, do not continue
beyond the 3rd cut off of the nozzle; this could
cause malfunctions.
Refilling
The fuel tank must be filled with the engine
off.
F Open the fuel filler flap.
F Hold the black cap with one hand.
F With the other hand, insert the key, then
turn it anticlockwise.
F After filling the fuel tank, lock the black cap
and close the flap.
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system in STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the key.
F To restore the fuel supply, press the first
button, located on the front right side.
