Fuel grade
Use a high-grade fuel that complies
with the legislation in force in each
country and which must comply with
the specifications given on the label
on the cover A. Please refer to the in-
formation on “Engine specifications” in
Section 6.
Useful capacity of fuel tank:
– Approximately 55 litres for two-
wheel drive models;
– 65 litres for four-wheel drive models.
To open the cover A, pull the control 1.
Use the cap holder 3 on the flap A
during filling to hold the cap 2 in place.
After filling, check that the cap and
cover are closed.
Do not mix even small
amounts of petrol (un-
leaded or E85) with diesel.
Do not use ethanol-based
fuel if your vehicle is not compatible
with this fuel.
Do not add additive to the fuel –
otherwise you risk damaging the
engine.

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 consists of a restrictor fitted with
a safety system which only allows
a 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 (please refer to the
information on “Starting and stop-
ping the engine” in Section 2).
Fuel filler cap: this is spe-
cific.
If you have to replace it,
make sure it is identical
to the original cap. Contact an ap-
proved Dealer.
Never place the cap near a source
of heat or flame.
Do not wash the filler area with a
high-pressure washer.

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
