FUEL TANK (2/3)
Filling with fuel
With the ignition off, insert the nozzle to
open valve A 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 valve 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).
Persistent smell of
fuel
If you notice a persistent
smell of fuel 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 to keep
away from traffic;
– contact an approved Dealer.
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 1 (please refer
to the information on “Starting and
Stopping the engine” in Section 2).

Running out of fuel on diesel
versions
Vehicles with priming bulb 2
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 2 several times.
The engine can now be restarted.
If the engine does not start after several
attempts, 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).

FUEL TANK (3/3)
Vehicles without priming bulb 2

reader. Press the button without press-
ing any of the pedals. Wait a few min-
utes before starting. This will enable the

does not start, repeat the procedure.
