the specifications given on the label on

the cover 1. ➥ 6.6.

Fuel types that conform to European

standards with which the engines of

vehicles sold in Europe are compat-

ible: refer to the table ➥ 6.6.

FUEL TANK (2/5)

If it is not possible to add at least

1.10 gallons (5 litres) of fuel due to the

fuel level in the tank, drive the vehicle

until the tank has capacity.

Filling with fuel

With the ignition off, insert the nozzle

and insert it fully before turning it on to

fill the fuel tank (risk of splashing).

Petrol versions

Keep the nozzle in this position through-

out the entire filling operation.

Using leaded petrol will damage the

antipollution system and may lead to a

loss of warranty.

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 cover 1 and its

surround must remain clean.

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).

Diesel version

Special case

It is essential to use diesel fuel that

conforms with the information given on

the label inside cover 1.

When the vehicle has been stopped for

around three months, you must add

fuel to prevent damage to the fuel

pump.

Petrol version

It is essential to use unleaded petrol.

The octane rating (RON) must comply

with the information given on the label

on the cover 1 ➥ 6.6.

To do this, with the ignition off, top-up

at least 1.10 gallons (5 litres) then start

the engine to operate the pump and

renew the fuel in the circuit.

To fill up with fuel, the

engine must be stopped

(and not only on standby

in the case of vehicles

equipped with the Stop and Start
