When the low fuel level is reached, t
his   warning   lamp   comes   on,  
a

ccompanied   by   an   audible   signal.
The
 
message   "LO   FUEL"   is   displayed   in   place  
o

f

You have approximately 5 litres remaining.
In
 
certain
  driving   conditions   and   depending   on  
t

he
 
engine,   the   distance   which   can   be   travelled  
w

ith
 
the
 
fuel   remaining   may   be   less   than  
3

0 miles
 
(50   km). To
  refuel   in   complete   safety:
F

Y

the ignition (ignition in "LOCK" position
or "OFF" mode) .

  must   only   be   done   with the engine
stopped and the ignition switched off ( ignition s

witch in the "LOCK" position or " OFF"
  mode).
The capacity of the fuel tank is approximately 35 litres.
Additions  of   fuel   must   be   of   at   least   5   litres   to  
b

e   registered   by   the   fuel   gauge.
A
  label   on   the   inside   of   the   flap   reminds   you  
w

hich   type   of   fuel   to   use.
There
  may   be   an   inrush   of   air   when   removing

he   filler   cap.   This   vacuum   is   per fectly   normal  
a

nd   results   from   the   sealing   of   the   fuel   system.

Quality of the fuel used for
petrol engines
The petrol engines are compatible with 
E 10   type   petrol   biofuels   (containing  
10
  %   ethanol),   conforming   to   European  
s

tandards   EN   228   and   EN   15376.
E85
  type   fuels   (containing   up   to   85   %   ethanol)  
a

re   reserved   exclusively   for   vehicles   marketed  
f

or   the   use   of   this   type   of   fuel   (BioFlex  
v

ehicles).   The   quality   of   the   ethanol   must  
c

omply   with   European   standard   EN   15293.

Technical data

Fuel used for petrol engines
The petrol engines are compatible with bio-fuels that conform to current and future European standards and can be obtained from filling stations.
Fuel used for Diesel
engines
The Diesel engines are compatible with biofuels that conform to current and future European standards and can be obtained from filling stations.
The use of B20 or B30 fuel meeting standard EN16709 is possible in your Diesel engine. However, this use, even occasional, requires strict application of the special servicing conditions referred to as "Arduous conditions".
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel (vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted, domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited (risk of damage to the engine and fuel system).
The only Diesel additives authorised for use are those that meet the B715000 standard.
The only petrol additives authorised for use are those that meet the B715001 standard.
Petrol that meets the EN228 standard, mixed with a bio-fuel meeting the EN15376 standard.
Travelling abroad Cer tain fuels could damage the engine of your vehicle. In cer tain countries, the use of a par ticular fuel may be required (specific octane rating, specific sales name…) to ensure correct operation of the
engine. For any additional information, contact your dealer.
Diesel fuel that meets standard EN590 mixed with a biofuel that meets standard EN14214 (possibly containing up to 7% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
Diesel fuel that meets standard EN16734 mixed with a biofuel that meets standard EN14214 (possibly containing up to 10% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
Paraffinic Diesel fuel that meets standard EN15940 mixed with a biofuel that meets standard EN14214 (possibly containing up to 7% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
For more information, contact a dealer of the brand or a qualified workshop.
Compatibility of fuels
Diesel fuel at low temperature
In temperatures below 0°C (+32°F), the formation of paraffins in the summer diesel fuels may result in abnormal operation of the fuel supply system. To avoid this, the use of winter diesel fuels is recommended, keeping
the tank topped up to more than 50% of its capacity. If in spite of this you experience difficulties starting the engine in temperatures below -15°C (+5°F), simply leave the vehicle in a garage or a heated workshop for a while.
