Filling
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 taken into account by the fuel gauge.
The key cannot be removed from the lock until the cap is refitted. Opening the filler cap may create a noise caused by an inrush of air. This vacuum is entirely normal, resulting from the sealing of the fuel system.
To fill the tank safely:  the engine must be switched off, open the fuel filler flap,  inser t the key in the cap, then turn it to the left,
 remove the cap and hook it onto the clip located on the inside of the flap,  fill the tank, but do not continue after the 3rd cut- off of the pump ; this could cause malfunctions.
When you have filled the tank:  put the cap back in place,  turn the key to the right, then remove it from the cap,  close the flap.
When the fuel tank minimum level is reached this warning lamp comes on
on the instrument panel. When it first comes on there remains approximately 5 litres of fuel in the tank. You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out of fuel. If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also to the "Checks" section.
With Stop & Star t, never refuel with the system in STOP mode; you must switch off the ignition with the key.
