FUEL TANK (2/3)

Filling with fuel
With the ignition off, insert the nozzle 
and insert it fully before turning it on to 
fill the fuel tank (risk of splashing).
Keep the nozzle in this position through-
out the entire filling operation.
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 cover A and its 
surround must remain clean.
Petrol versions
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 contains a restrictor fitted with a 
foolproof system which only allows 
the nozzle for unleaded petrol to be 
used (at the pump).
Vehicle fitted with the Stop and 
Start function
To fill up with fuel, the engine must 
be stopped (and not on standby): 
stop the engine by pressing the 
engine stop button 3  (please refer 
to the information on “Starting and 
Stopping the engine” in Section 2).
Persistent fuel odour
If you notice a persistent 
fuel odour you should:
–  stop the vehicle as soon as traf- fic conditions allow and switch off 
the ignition;
–  switch on the hazard warning  lights and ask your passengers to 
leave the vehicle and stay clear 
of the traffic;
–  contact an approved Dealer.

No modifications what-
soever are permitted on 
any part of the fuel supply 
system (electronic units, 
wiring, fuel circuit, injectors, pro-
tective covers, etc.) as this may be 
dangerous (unless undertaken by 
qualified Network personnel).
Running out of fuel on diesel 
versions
Vehicles with priming bulb  4
After a breakdown caused by com-
pletely running out of fuel, the system 
must be reprimed before the engine is 
restarted:
Fill the tank with at least 8 litres of 
diesel fuel.
Press priming bulb  4 several times.
The engine can now be restarted.
If the engine does not start after several 
attempts, contact an approved Dealer. Vehicles without priming bulb

the engine does not start, repeat the 
procedure.
The engine may be hot 
when working in close prox-
imity. In addition, the engine 
cooling fan may come on at 
any moment.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF PETROL VERSIONS
The following operating conditions:
–  driving for long periods when the low fuel level warning light is lit;
–  using leaded petrol;
–  using fuel or lubrication additives  which are not approved.
Or operating faults such as:
–  faulty ignition system, running out of  fuel or disconnected spark plugs re-
sulting in the engine misfiring or cut-
ting out when driving;
–  loss of power,
as they may cause the catalytic con-
verter to overheat and thus reduce its 
efficiency,  or damage it irreparably 
and cause heat damage to the vehi-
cle. If you notice any of the above operating 
faults, have the necessary repairs car-
ried out as soon as possible by an ap-
proved Dealer.
These faults may be avoided by regu-
larly taking your vehicle to an approved 
Dealer at the intervals specified in the 
Maintenance document.
Starting problems
To avoid damaging the catalytic con-
verter, 
do not keep  trying to start the 
engine (using the start button, or by 
pushing or towing the vehicle)  without 
having identified and corrected the 
starting fault.
If the fault cannot be identified, do not 
keep trying to start the engine, but con-
tact an approved Dealer.
Do not park the vehicle or 
run the engine in locations 
where combustible sub-
stances or materials such as 
grass or leaves can come into con-
tact with the hot exhaust system.

When stationary, and de-
pending on the slope and/or 
vehicle load, it may be nec-
essary to pull up the hand-
brake at least two extra notches and 
engage a gear (1
st or reverse gear) 
for vehicles with a manual gearbox 
or position  P for vehicles with an au-
tomatic gearbox.
An impact to the under-
side of the vehicle while 
manoeuvring (e.g.: strik-
ing a post, raised kerb or 
other street furniture) may result in 
damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor-
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have 
your vehicle checked by an ap-
proved Dealer.
Make sure that the hand-
brake is properly released 
when driving (red indicator 
light off), otherwise over-
heating, or even damage, may 
occur.
