If refuelling with diesel whose
specifications are not suitable for the
usage temperature, it is advisable to mix
When using or parking the car for a long
time in the mountains or cold areas, it is
advisable to refuel using locally available
fuel. In this case, it is also advisable to
keep the tank over 50% full.
LPG ENGINES
The gas filler is located next to the petrol
filler cap. It has a "non return", located in
the filler body itself.
To access the filler 1 fig. 68open the
access flap 2.Observe the following precautions during
the refuelling operation:
switch off the engine;
turn the ignition key to the STOP
position;
do not smoke;
hand the special adapter 3 over to the
qualified LPG refuelling personnel.
The adapter 3 is located in a special case.
IMPORTANT Depending on the country,
there are different types of adapters for
refuelling pumps. The adapter that comes
with the car is specifically designed for
the country in which the car is sold. If you
are in a different country, find out what
type of adapter is used there.
IMPORTANT Only use the adapter
supplied with the vehicle as it is equipped
with a dedicated fuel pre-filter.
REFUELLING CAPACITY
To ensure that you fill the tank
completely, top up twice after the first
click of the fuel supply gun. Further
top-ups could cause faults in the fuel
feeding system.
