FUEL TANK (2/3)  
Filling with fuel  
With the ignition off, insert the nozzle to  
open valve 2 and insert it fully before  
turning it on to fill the fuel tank (risk of  
splashing).  
Vehicle fitted with the Stop and  
Start function  
Keep the nozzle in this position through-  
out the entire filling operation.  
To fill up with fuel, the engine must  
be stopped (and not on standby):  
stop the engine (Please See  
“Starting, stopping the engine” in  
Section 2).  
2
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 2 and its  
surround must remain clean.  
Petrol versions  
Fuel types that conform to European  
standards with which the engines of  
vehicles sold in Europe are compat-  
ible: refer to the “Engine specifica-  
tions” in section 6.  
Using leaded petrol will damage the  
antipollution system and may lead to a  
loss of warranty.  
To ensure that the fuel 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).  
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.  
Do not add anything to the fuel (ad-  
ditive, reagent, etc.) to prevent the  
risk of damaging the engine.
