Fuel tank
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 53 litres.
When the low fuel level is reached in the
fuel tank, this warning lamp comes on on
the instrument panel, accompanied by
the display of a message and an audible
signal. When it first comes on there remains
approximately 6 litres of fuel in the tank.
Low fuel level
A label affixed to the inside of the flap reminds
you of the type of fuel to be used depending on
your engine.
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 a
caused by an inrush of air. This vacuum is
entirely normal, resulting from the sealing of the
fuel system.
To fill the tank in complete safety:
F the engine must be switched off,
F with the vehicle unlocked, press the rear
part of the filler flap,
F turn the filler cap to the left,
F remove the filler cap and hook it onto the
clip located on the inside of the filler flap,
F fill the tank, but do not continue after the
3rd cut-off of the pump; this could cause
malfunctions.
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start,
never refuel with the engine in
STOP mode; you must switch off the
ignition using the key, or the START/
STOP button if your vehicle has Keyless
Entry and Starting.
Until sufficient fuel is added, this warning lamp
appears every time the ignition is switched on,
accompanied by the display of a message and
an audible signal. When driving, this message
and audible signal are repeated with increasing
frequency as the fuel level drops towards "0".
Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out
of fuel.
For more information on Running out of fuel
(Diesel), refer to the corresponding section.
Refuelling
When you have filled the tank:
F put the filler cap back in place,
F turn it to the right,
F close the filler flap.
