Use a high-grade fuel that complies

with the legislation in force in each

country and which must comply with

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.

Useable tank capacity:

– Approximately 9.24 gallons

(42 litres) for petrol versions;

– Approximately 8.58 gallons

(39 litres) for diesel versions.

With the vehicle unlocked, to open

cover 1, press area A then release. The

cover 1 opens slightly.

Use the cap holder 2 on the flap 1

during filling to hold the cap 3 in place.

For details on filling the fuel tank, refer

to the information on “Filling up with

fuel”.

To close it, press on the fuel filler flap by

hand, as far as it will go.

Do not mix even small

amounts of petrol (un-

leaded or E85) with diesel.

Do not use ethanol-based

fuel if your vehicle is not compatible

with this fuel.

Filler cap: this is specific.

If you have to replace it,

make sure it is identical to

the original cap. Contact an

approved Dealer.

Never place the cap near a source

of heat or flame.

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). Keep

the nozzle in this position throughout

the entire filling operation.

Petrol versions

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 tank is not filled

with leaded petrol, the fuel tank filler

neck consists of a restrictor fitted with

a safety system which only allows

a 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. 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.

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 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 function): you

must switch off the ignition ➥ 2.4,

➥ 2.6.

Fire hazard.

After filling, check that the cap and

proximately 7.04 gallons (32 litres).

Filling up with LPG

Apply the parking brake, stop the

engine, switch off the ignition and

switch off the lights.

Always respect the safety instructions

given at filling stations.

Depending on the country, before refill-

ing you must screw the filling adapter 5

onto the LPG filler end piece.

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

been reached.

At this point, do not attempt to carry on

filling.

Filling stations without self-

service

If the service station personnel carry

out the LPG filling procedure, you must

give them the adapter 5.

IMPORTANT: LPG filling

adapter 5

Depending on the country, the use

of a specific adapter is required for

LPG filling.

The filling adapter 5 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.

If you exceed the LPG tank capacity when topping-up, please go to an

accredited garage or an authorised dealer to check the automatic filler

device.

on LPG distributors. These explain how

to fill up properly.
